Two ideas
1. A potential energy store battery designed for London Ontario Set up a renewable energy project near the water treatment plant @ Spring Bank – use the electricity generated that the grid doesn’t need at the time to pump treated water uphill to a new reservoir @ Reservoir Park . When the grid needs electricity release the stored water to run downhill to power turbines.

2. Build green, tiny home communities in London – with community shared laundry rooms – storage, community centers – cut down on the space, energy and resources needed to house people . Let the residents put their energies into building communities to ensure the comunities thrive ( I’m seeing communities in east London successfully putting energy into this area to reclaim an area that was in decline – helping residents in communities to work towards the greater good of their communities unleashes powerful transformative energies)
