Prince Charles installs solar panels for his cows
And finally this week is courtesy of my good friend Rob Poole who drew my attention to an article in the Mirror highlighted in this week’s Hi Peak organic news round. Having praised the good prince last week about his rural credentials it stands further witness to his sustainable instincts
“Prince Charles is believed to have spent more than £300,000 on turning his cows “green”.
He has installed 424 solar panels at organic Home Farm’s 180-cow dairy near Highgrove, Glos. The farm is the only part of Charles’s estate where carbon emissions are rising every year. But the panels should cut CO2 by 46 tonnes and provide the dairy’s energy needs. The prince also wants panels at Clarence House, London.”
I wonder if greener milk tastes better?
