Could Exmoor and West Somerset Regenerate by Copying Tiverton Energy Centre?

Tiverton Energy Centre aims to be a centre of excellence for the production of renewable electricity and fuel for the Tiverton community.

Tiverton Energy Centre, located in Devon, seems to be one of the most fascinating sustainable community developments of its kind in the UK. Over the next 5 years, they aim to make Tiverton, with its 20,000 population, 100% non dependant on fossil fuels. It will transform Tiverton into a zero waste to landfill town resulting in reduced greenhouse gas emissions, it aims to help reduce Tiverton's impact on the environment and aims to help to slow down climate change. Further benefits could be reduced waste disposal costs for every household and reduced council tax charges!

This is the sort of innovative project that Exmoor and West Somerset could do well to emulate. It seems win win for everybody, except perhaps the oil companies. Read more about Tiverton Energy Centre.
