“The Future of Energy is really about the clean energy revolution happening right now -- By the final credits, you'll know both how and why renewable energy is the cleanest, quickest, cheapest, and safest way to supply all of our energy needs.”
-- Michael Brune, Executive Director, Sierra Club
The Future of Energy is a positive, activating film about the renewable energy revolution and emerging solutions to climate change. The film was created when a guerrilla style director, a former hiphop producer, an environmental lawyer and a former radio host came together and decided to take action to help address the climate crisis. They were quickly joined by many talented people to produce this exciting full-length documentary in less than 13 months.
