Renewable energy sources and energy conservation are the solution to global warming.
The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, which warms the atmosphere, leading to increased floods, droughts and hurricanes. This film addresses the crisis of global warming and offers renewable energy sources and energy conservation as economically viable solutions to climate change.
TURNING DOWN THE HEAT profiles innovative and successful projects of the new energy revolution, showcasing alternative sources of power. They include solar energy in Holland, Japan and California, biogas in Denmark and Vietnam, wind energy in Holland and India, and hydrogen fuel cells and ground source heat in Vancouver.
We see the effects of global warming already manifesting themselves in the small island nations of the world. But, as Donald Aitken, Ross Gelbspan, Amory Lovins and others make clear, we do have viable options. All we need is the political will.
