... Great video for raising the discussion of what to do next. I believe that the only solution requires change by the individual, our government, the production industry, and the companies that produce goods: Demand less as a consumer, produce goods that demand less electricity, be a leader in producing electricity, yada yada yada...

Great Video Thanks for putting this information together in an easy to consume video. You have touched on very basic things that most of us know, but the question remains: what do we do about it? This is a good start for the conversation. I look forward to hearing more as it unfolds. Best regards, Wendy
