The Power of the Sun
There is a new documentary about renewable energy. Sure, plenty of others exist already, but this one caught my eye because it's by a couple of Physics Nobel Laureates: Walter Kohn and Alan Heeger. I know these guys!!
The Power of the Sun looks promising: an actual, scientific description of how solar cells work coupled with a tale of energy usage and how we can do it more wisely based on what we know. In other words, it's not a diatribe or a horror tale or an apocalytpic warning (well, maybe the last, but phrased more gently). It's practical-- what are we already doing to work on this problem, and what else might we do to be more effective?
It's practical. In the end, that's what we need.
Disclaimer: I haven't seen it yet. But I hope to!
