It was great to see so many people come out on Monday to see the new 'Archimedean Screws' beginning to turn and generate energy from the natural drop between the upper and lower river levels on the River Great Ouse in Bedford. Local schoolchildren were there, learning about renewable energy by watching it brought to life at such close quarters.
