Synopsis
Climate impact is worsening every year. Devastating storms, air pollution, sacrifice zones, and fossil fuel price hikes are the new normal. We know the problems of a fossil fuel economy — HOW TO POWER A CITY is a front-row seat to people finding solutions. A diverse cast in six locations each leads a unique solar or wind power project. They also find ways to use renewable energy to innovate, activate, and create community. This is a journey through the world of renewable energy: creating electricity without pollution, solar for surviving hurricanes, local climate action, and finding measures of environmental justice. It has themes of science, innovation, leadership, environmental stewardship, and love of one’s community.
