Can solar panels turn around one of Scotland's most deprived communities? - Lemmy.World

Betteridge [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines] says no, but read this article and I’d bet otherwise. Community ownership of money generating resources. Smash the system folks, as this is the resource that keeps on paying. And no billionaires in sight. Ipads, allotments, engineering and science learning. Community ownership is a really powerful concept, and one we’re seeing more and more of in 21C Scotland. Lang may it’s lum reek!

That’s great to see, with the cost of living crisis, just arguing green power is more ethical/better for the environment etc understandably doesn’t cut through - but making the focus the direct improvement of peoples local area and the above a nice side effect is a great way to get buy-in.
