Viewers will see, firsthand, the nuts and bolts of rooftop solar, wind farms, and power plants, as well as the organizing that goes into realizing these innovative projects. A range of renewable energy projects illustrates how entire utilities, large cities, and small communities realize energy transformation through locally-based projects. The array of projects spans innovations like solar-powered streetlights and emergency solar systems for hurricane resilience, to utilities leading energy transformation, and what would have been America's first offshore wind farm.
