Wood as a fuel is not a long term possibility

Welsh pupils explore future energy sources
We all need energy to live, and the Moses Project has been sharing ideas with the pupils at Ysgol Iolo Morgannwg of ways to contribute to halting global warming. Exploring how we use,  save and waste energy in our own homes and communities proved to be an eye opening experience for the Welsh pupils. Understanding how our wasted energy affects communities like  Endonyiosidai resulted in the whole class wanting to try and do something to help!  Attempts to save energy and use clean energy here in Wales is already a Welsh Government policy to be proud of. But its too late for our friends in Kenya who are already suffering the effects of global warming. We planned how to provide our friends with their first ever source of electricity, and how to reduce the amount of wood they had to use to cook and to heat their homes. Mrs. Farleigh's class came to the conclusion that they would like to provide a clean energy source and that woud be best delivered by solar panels. Fuel efficient stoves would reduce the amount of wood burnt by 50%
