#31: The 'Solar Punks': Bringing power to the people

What can citizens do to contribute to halt global warming? Dan
Edelstyn and Hilary Powell set out their plan to turn their
London street into a community solar power station. In this
episode, Dan tells us why they use art and filmmaking to promote
their project, how they crowdfunded the necessary money and how
the couple is inspiring more and more neighbourhoods and public
institutions to follow their model.
