Saturday 15 July 2023 05:00, UK
For people living in Lawrence Weston near聽Bristol, having England's tallest onshore wind turbine on their doorstep isn't聽just about the聽environment.
They believe it will bring more than £100,000 a year back into the community and help fight poverty and climate change together. But can community energy bring Britain to net zero?
On this week's ClimateCast, host Tom Heap speaks to people in Lawrence Weston about their energy project, including Mark Pepper, community manager at 'Ambition Lawrence Weston', who talks about the funding behind the turbine and how any money made will be invested into regenerating the local area.
