Green,
who
founded
the
not-for-profit
company
of
local
environmentalists,
has
a
long
history
of
working
in
charities
and
as
an
entrepreneur.
The
Ecoisland
project,
unveiled
last
November,
aims
to
see
the
Isle
of
Wight
become
energy
independent
by
2020
from
a
combination
of
solar,
small
wind,
geothermal,
tidal
and
waste-to-energy.
Designed
to
decarbonise
the
island’s
power
footprint,
increase
energy
security,
reduce
utility
bills
and
fund
community
initiatives,
the
scheme
will
also
be
at
the
heart
of
a
wider
vision
that
encompasses
renewables
generation,
a
smart
grid,
energy
storage,
alternative…
