"All this will cost a lot of money"

We'd find the money: this is Oxford and we should be setting an example to the world and not succumbing to its fallacies. Let's get on with it.

If we come up with some good plans then through EU grants and fundraising I have no doubt whatsoever that we could raise enough capital, through investors or by generous donations (we could ask the Clinton Foundation to chip in!) to make the Eco Oxford idea work. This is an idea waiting to happen in so many capable people's minds and hands. Let's not let this opportunity slip through our fingers. Let's not roll over to the "inevitable" grinding of the machine. Let's short circuit it or find the 'Off' button and set Oxfordshire on the road to Zero Carbon in the UK.
Ox On!
