Fremont, OH. -- Bring a lunch and join us at the Birchard Public Library, in Fremont, on Thursday, October 23rd at 12:00pm, for a discussion about Kilowatt Ours: A Plan to Re-Energize America
This program airs Sunday, October 5th at 1:00pm and will be shown at the library beginning at 11:00 am on Thursday, October 23rd, prior to the discussion at 12:00pm.
Filmmaker Jeff Barrie outlines an ambitious plan for shifting
America’s energy paradigm towards conservation and renewable power.
On an 18-month journey across the southeast United States,
Barrie chronicles the underreported side effects resulting from
America’s voracious appetite for coal-generated electricity, where
more than six tons of coal are burned to generate electricity for the
average home annually.

consequences such as global warming, mountain top removal, air
pollution, childhood asthma and mercury contamination.
Uncovering hope-filled examples of conservation, efficiency
and renewable power at work today, Barrie makes the case that
environmental problems could be minimized by utilizing
alternative technologies available today. The solutions are
surprisingly accessible and affordable to the average American.
