Micropower 'could fuel UK homes'

A mini-power station on the roof of many UK homes will soon be possible and affordable, a British think-tank says.

The Green Alliance, an independent body which advises policy-makers, says that micropower schemes have come of age.

In a report which will be published on 15 September, it says the Sun, the wind and even the heat in the soil can all provide clean energy for a household.

The report says micropower can help the UK to keep its promises on tackling climate change, and also to save money. >Link
