However, 25 years ago I started the world’s first green energy company - Ecotricity - to offer this new kind of electricity to people. Creating a green football club - Forest Green Rovers - in the last decade has attracted a similar level of scepticism and disbelief, and ‘that’s not how football works’-type comments. But it’s OK, the day will surely come when green gas made from grass is just normal, like wind energy is now and just as electric cars are now and as plant-based living is well on the way to being, not to mention sustainable sports clubs, and diamonds from the sky. Meanwhile, there’s a different battle raging, between people that see the impending climate crisis and the lack of government action as reasons to get out of the streets, and a media and government that don’t like it.
