Climate change is here. Climate change is bringing more extreme weather. It is not a problem simply in the distant future. We must cut emissions and adapt. Please tell us your practical ideas to help with the climate emergency.

25% of our electricity is from wind this evening at 6pm in Britain. Quite low compared to most of the time but still contributing, the future is windier and cleaner.

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

The Treasury is widely reported to be considering cutting energy bills, perhaps via a VAT cut. What's the best way to do this?
We think the answer is to remove the taxes from electricity bills. Here is Nesta's proposal out for Tax-free Electricity:
