With today's high fuel costs, it is time to start looking beyond petroleum and into renewable resources to power our vehicles. Ethanol is a clean-burning fuel derived from plants, primarily corn. The corn is ground, cooked, fermented, distilled and dehydrated, then ready for use. Ethanol is combined with gasoline to produce a cleaner fuel that doesn't emit as many greenhouse gases as pure gasoline. Pure ethanol has not yet been approved to fuel our vehicles, but it is the fuel of choice for racecars. Indy cars operate on 100% ethanol fuel. By mixing gasoline with ethanol, we can extend our fuel supply. Join us as the Eco Kids explore the production of ethanol and highlight the importance it holds in the Green Power movement.

Simply put, geothermal energy derived from heat produced by the core of the earth. Geothermal energy is one of the oldest renewable resources used by humans. It has been used since the Ancient Roman times as a heat source. Recently, we have begun to harness that energy as a source of power. Geothermal power plants take the heat from the earth and bring it to the surface to create steam that spins a turbine. We have a constant supply of heat from the earth. The challenge is finding where it is strongest and bringing it to the surface. The Eco Kids will guide us through this process and explain a few different ways that geothermal power plants operate. Find out how experts are working to fine tune the process and make geothermal power plants more affordable and useful across the country.

The first hybrid car was introduced in 1905. It had two distinct power sources working together to make it run; gas and electric power. However, using only gasoline back then was cheap and easy to power, and the hybrid car was forgotten; until recently. Since the fuel widely used now is a non-renewable resource and becoming increasingly less affordable, the hybrid car is making a comeback. Hybrid cars are operated by a computer system called the Digital Drive Line. When you step on the gas pedal, you are telling the system how fast you need to go and the car decides whether to use gas, electric power or both. The benefit of the hybrid is that instead of running on gas for an entire trip, it uses non-polluting electric power when possible. The hybrid car is ideal for city driving and traffic. By using less gas, hybrid cars help cut pollution and helps save drivers money at the gas pump.

Solar power is defined as the energy we produce by converting sunlight into heat or electricity. It is one of the most abundant and affordable sources of energy available. However, it is difficult to harness and impractical in some parts of the world. So, it is important to explore in-depth, the process of converting sunlight to power. The three primary ways to produce solar power on a large scale are solar power generating plants, photovoltaic cells and solar thermal heaters. The Eco Kids will take us through each process of energy conversion to help us better understand this clean energy technology.

Wind is a natural resource that is readily available and virtually everywhere. Wind power is defined as the process of turning the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. Humans have been harnessing the power of the wind for around 2,000 years. The Dutch made the windmill famous. Find out how the large wind turbines are built using a simplistic design and modern technology. They operate completely autonomously by rotating with the force of the wind. The blades turn on a rotor that is connected by a shaft to a generator that creates electricity. With the Eco Kids, we'll explore how the use of wind power is growing and becoming widely used throughout the world. It is an efficient way to use a clean renewable resource.

The second part teaching students the "Inconvenient truth" about our environment. The episode challenges students to conduct an "Eco-Investigation" of their homes, schools and communities to determine which of our daily routines waste resources or are harmful to the environment. We examine our use of grocery bags, the packaging of products, what we eat and drink, water consumption, the safety of cleaning products and energy usage in our homes. We also take a closer look at paper and other material usage in schools, as well transportation in our communities. Once students understand how individuals contribute to the problem, they can become part of the solution to eco-friendliness.

The program urges students to become "power police;" put a stop to the wasteful things people do everyday and promote the use of Green Power. We cover what can be done in the home like buying energy efficient appliances, recycling cans, growing a garden, taking shorter showers and eating organic. It explores the things we can change in schools like reusing paper and batteries. It also suggests changes that can be made in the community like minimizing driving, boycotting bad products and writing petitions for change. Students are encouraged to spread the word about becoming eco-friendly and help our Earth recover.

The Force that Changed The World documents the massive change electricity has had on the civilized world over the past century, and what it holds for the future. The ancient Greeks first discovered attractive electric forces when they rubbed amber with wool. In 1600, William Gilbert discovered that glass and diamonds behaved like amber and called these materials electrics, based on the term electrum, the Latin word for amber. From Ben Franklin to Alessandro Volta, Andre Ampere, and George Ohm, advances in understanding electricity were made. From the telephone to the television and from the refrigerator to air conditioning, we have reached the point where the whole world is but a key stroke away.

Part 3 profiles the after effects of the second gulf war. Iraq, which once played a major role in the Middle East oil trade, is struggling to gain stability. Exemplifying this is the city of Kirkuk, one of the two largest oil regions in the country, where oil brought destruction and discrimination against the Kurds. In Iran, controversy surrounds the Sunni and Shiite's and the struggle for everyday life. This episode also shows the disparity between north and south Tehran and the south's disappointment with failed promises by president Ahmadinijhad. In stark contrast lies Kuwait and Saudi Arabia where modernization is far beyond that of Iran and Iraq.

Management of the world's fresh water supply will determine global political stability and economic development. Many countries will experience internal conflicts over rights to water. There is enough water for everyone in the world, however, the question is who should pay for it, how much it should cost, and who should receive it. For the first time in history, the majority of the world's population lives in cities, and supplying these cities with sufficient water will be a difficult task that has the potential to cause many social conflicts. This struggle for control of water has led to riots in many areas of the world including South Africa and Spain where water-rich regions hold power over water deficient regions. Disputes over water are also disputes between countries. This is taking place between the ten countries that share the Nile River Basin in Africa. In Asia, the fight over control of its large rivers is a struggle of life and death and will have enormous consequences for billions of people.

Inquisitive Minds: Energy and Electricity will show what tools, appliances, factories and everything from iPods to airplanes have in common. Each needs energy to do their jobs. But, where does that energy come from? We know we can get our power from a wall outlet, but that's only the beginning. Dr. "K" and the IM team will trace the electricity from the wall through the "power grid" to its source. Students will learn how power is generated, what makes it travel through wires and learn about the path it takes to get it to where it's needed. How does it work? There's a lot to learn about Energy, come along!
Inquisitive Minds was created to help students develop a better understanding of the connections between the environment and energy and providing thought-provoking discussions that just might lead to energy conservation solutions of their own!

Our fossil fuel addiction is no longer healthy; the implications for planet earth are nightmarish, but the replacement of fossil fuels may mean a golden opportunity. Transitional cars may run on hydrogen; solar, wind, hydroelectric & coal-driven sources of power will help reduce the catastrophic greenhouse effect and ease the stranglehold of the oil-producing countries. Currently one third of the world has no access to commercial energy; said Gandhi "The world has enough for everybody's NEED but not enough for everybody's GREED."
