Summary
COI synopsis: In the barren landscape of a Welsh slate quarry, a team of scientists are experimenting with the earth’s renewable resources - wind, water and the sun. London Line meets some of the people involved in a life style that means having home grown crops, fish farming and water that, even in cloudy Britain, is heated by the sun.
