A story of redemption: How a fracking site converted to a renewable energy source

Just a few years ago, a small village in North Yorkshire became a magnet for protesters who were opposing hydraulic fracturing for gas - also known as fracking. <br /><br />Now, the organiser of those protests works for the same company he opposed, but it has tapped into a greener energy source. <br /><br />On this episode of ClimateCast, Tom Heap heads to North Yorkshire to meet workers at the firm which has swapped fracking for geothermal heat. <br /><br />He speaks to the staff who have turned away from fossil fuels, and also to former protesters about their victory and the green energy solution that's on their doorstep. <br /><br />Podcast producer: Emma Rae Woodhouse <br />Field producer: Gemma Watson <br />Editor: Paul Stanworth
