Trailer for Scaling Wind Documentary Released

Scaling Wind is a forthcoming half hour documentary produced by Green Tech Films that addresses the primary barriers to America achieving 20 percent of its electricity generation from wind energy. Drawing from the U.S. Department of Energy’s 2008 report, “20 Percent Wind Energy by 2030″ (www.20percentwind.org), the film profiles people working to overcome the challenges facing achievement of the 20 percent vision, including the need to modernize and expand the power grid and smarten the nation’s energy policy for a stable market.

The purpose of the film is to communicate the importance of how today’s energy decisions will impact America’s future; educate policymakers and citizens about the viability of wind energy’s potential for the nation; explain how wind energy may contribute to America’s economic recovery; and inspire involvement from relevant stakeholders. These points are made through the stories of people who are working to guide our nation’s energy system onto a safe, cost-effective, and sustainable path.

The film will premiere at the Intermountain Bioneers  Conference, at the Bridgerland Applied Technology College campus in Logan, Utah, on November 2.
