Killowatt Ours...a must see!

I went to see this movie tonight in town. While I know many documentaries speak about the energy crisis we are facing today and how detrimental it is that we change our ways, I thought this film really addresses what you can start doing at home and in you daily life to really get on the bandwagon. It is stuff that we already know, but then again, i wouldn't say it safe to assume anything..so check it out!

“Kilowatt Ours” challenges this assertion by presenting an alternative based on conservation and renewable power. Produced on a $20,000 budget, this 65-minute documentary reveals the underreported side effects resulting from America’s voracious appetite for coal-generated electricity. “Kilowatt Ours” follows filmmaker Jeff Barrie on his 18-month journey across the southeast United States, where more than six tons of coal are burned to generate electricity for the average home annually. Barrie takes viewers from our lightswitches at home to the sources of our energy, examining social and environmental consequences such as global warming, mountain top removal, air pollution, childhood asthma and mercury contamination.
