Director's Statement

 
I began this film when I walked by a table on a Brooklyn sidewalk and was asked if I wanted to switch to wind power. I wanted to know more about how this would work, and started on a journey that grew to include solar, many other cities, other types of clean energy, and became this feature documentary. Along the way, the film has evolved from a “101” type look at how the technology actually works to a deeper look at our nation’s energy systems and the people leading all aspects of the clean energy revolution.
