The moral of this story is that this is the way capitalism works, it’s not meant for the masses, it meant for the few who own the capital. And until we start playing their game our way, that’s the way it’s going to stay! Co-operatives are a great way to democratise our energy supply and put it where it belongs…with the people who use it. But until we can start supplying ourselves with the energy we generate, the connection won’t be made in people’s heads and we will remain passive consumers. Time to wake up people!
