BRENDAN’S
Perspective
“We already have the tools and technologies to design and build energy efficient houses, neighbourhoods and indeed whole cities that are net zero carbon, fossil fuel free, with a fraction of the running costs of current practice. The modern well designed community can also be a clean energy power station for surrounding neighbourhoods. If we push hard, this can happen quite quickly. Let’s do this!”
