Carbon Nation: Climate Change Solutions Movie
Published: February 22, 2011
Switching to solar power simply makes good business sense. Nice to know that it also stablizes the economy, makes fighting over middle-east oil unnecessary, and is equitably available everywhere on earth. Revolution is in the air. Surely the peoples revolution will be powered by solar.

Carbon Nation is a feature length documentary about climate change SOLUTIONS. Even if you doubt the severity of the impact of climate change or just don't buy it at all, this is a compelling and relevant film that illustrates how SOLUTIONS to climate change also address other social, economic and national security issues.

'Carbon Nation' is an optimistic discovery of what people are already doing, what we as a nation could be doing and what the world needs to do to prevent (or slow down) the impending climate crisis. We already have the technology to combat most of the worst-case scenarios of climate change, and it is very good business as well.

We meet a host of entertaining and endearing characters along the way, including entrepreneurs, visionaries, scientists, business, and the everyday man, all making a difference and working towards solving climate change.

We interviewed over 200 people – included in the film are Richard Branson (CEO, Virgin Group), Thomas L. Friedman (New York Times), Former CIA Director James Woolsey, Van Jones (Founder, Green For All), Col. Dan Nolan, U.S. Army (Ret), Bernie Karl (Geothermal pioneer from Alaska,) Amory Lovins (Chairman, RMI), Art Rosenfeld (Commissioner, California Energy Commission), Denis Hayes (Founder of Earth Day), Ralph Cavanagh (NRDC), Lester Brown (Earth Policy Institute), John Rowe (CEO, Exelon), Jim Rogers (CEO Duke Energy), Cliff Etheredge (West Texas wind pioneer,)and more climate change pioneers.

Public opinion is sliding the wrong way - far fewer people are concerned about climate change than even a year ago. We’ve made Carbon Nation to give a majority of people an entertaining, informed and pragmatic primer about why it’s incredibly smart to be a part of the new, low-carbon economy: its good business.

Carbon Nation’s optimism and pragmatism are appealing across the political spectrum. Carbon Nation is a film that celebrates solutions, inspiration and action.

High tech solutions include simply plugging your car into electricity because it save you money. Wind power that makes money while allowing farmers to continue growing food on their land. Solar means the military doesn't need to fight for control over oil reserves in other nations. Solar can run day and night with various storage options. Each of the solar forms of energy like photovoltaic, wind driven by the solar cycle, and geothermal all could provide all the energy we need. Add some more water power, get seriously efficient by switching to electricity for transportation and all of a sudden we are all working for a sustainable world the works economically for the majority.
