E Squared: PBS Environmental Energy Series

Written by Hank Green

Monday, 15 October 2007

Have some free time on you hands...and don't want to waste it on normal TV? Check out E² on PBS (or on their website.) The series is covering a wide range of alternative energy solutions that will help us respond to the needs of the future.

The only episode currently online is about community-sponsored wind power projects. While wind power take a pretty huge investment, it can also pay itself back fairly quickly. But it's hard for individual farmers to come up with the initial investment. The program walks through an extremely successful community wind program.

They talk about the successes, but they don't shy away from the difficulties either. The series is certainly going to be worth a watch.

We need to be careful how we banter around the phrase 'alternative energy'.

Seems to me the alternatives to renewable energy has something to do with burning something to approximate the sun's power.
