children of the sun Power. It’s something we’re interested in. Not in the same way Genghis Khan was. World domination isn’t really our thing in Wrexham. We’re interested in helping to solve the world’s energy problems. People are using more energy, but fossil fuels like natural gas are drying up. So that’s a big problem. Throw in the pollution created by fossil fuels and concerns about nuclear power, and things start to look scary.

So the issue is pretty simple. The solution? That’s not so simple. But it makes sense to do two things: develop clean energy technology and reduce fossil fuel consumption. Wrexham is immersing itself in both and doing its bit to keep the lights switched on for future generations. Proof? Visit the solar centre at Sharp Manufacturing in Llay, and you’ll begin to understand the science behind harnessing energy from the sun. The centre is open to schools, colleges, universities and other groups, but you have to book in advance. Please don’t just turn up. They’re busy people.
