HOW TO POWER A CITY

DIRECTOR MELANIE LA ROSA WILL JOIN FOR DISCUSSION
From zeitgeist clean energy projects and early solar adopters to investors trying to bolster local economies with clean energy, to environmental justice communities fighting to keep the lights on, How To Power A City showcases the people leading the way to our nation’s clean energy future. What began as a look at solar and wind power in the large urban sprawls of New York City, Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and Detroit/Highland Park soon expanded to include towns in mountainous Vermont and communities throughout Puerto Rico. This allows the film to subtly explore what it means to be a city and the malleability of developed environments, no matter the size. How To Power A City is a behind-the-scenes exploration of leadership, innovation, technology, public participation, and what energy transformation looks like in everyday situations.
