Since our funding is running out, we depend on donations to run energypedia next year. Energypedia pages are checked by over 60,000 people each month. If everyone reading this gave a small amount (as little as 1€), we could keep energypedia open and free for years to come. The price of a coffee is all we need. Thank you!
