FACE THE CHALLENGES OF GLOBAL WARMING?
Transforming Energy - A documentary film about Global Warming, Renewable Resources, Alternative Energy and Sustainable Development
Transforming Energy is a new one hour documentary created and produced by Throughline Productions and the Electric Lodge.
The film explores the hope of Alternative Energy as a solution to Global Warming from the perspective of people who are making a difference through their passion, commitment and hard work. The potential for sustainable energy sources as a replacement for our current dependence on fossil fuels is illustrated through the work of these visionaries.
By providing insight into the world and work of activists and academics from William McDonough to student engineers building and designing their own solar cars, Transforming Energy makes the case that people, not technology, are the key to environmental protection and a sustainable future.
conversation about energy alternatives. High schools, universities and
discussion groups across the country are using Transforming Energy as a
catalyst for environmental activism....
Transforming Energy is a documentary about the hope of Alternative Energy as a solution to the problems of Global Warming and the end of cheap oil and gas. It takes us into the lives, the passion, the commitment and the hard work of the people who are on the ground now, working to create a new energy paradigm.
From political activist Matt Baker of Environment Colorado to Dan Shugar, president of the largest solar panel company in the world - to the student engineers racing their own designed solar cars - to a family living off the grid in rural Iowa.
These stories take on an added significance as the film also goes to Alaska to document the experiences of Native Alaskans who must evacuate their village near the Bering Sea because of the effects of Global Warming.
The film features interviews with Hunter Lovins, William McDonough, Jeremy Rifkin and James Howard Kuntsler who provide inventive new ideas in the debate about the possible solutions to the challenges we now face.
