Kilowatt Ours reveals the consequences of our coal-powered economy and offers tips and tricks for living a conservationist lifestyle.
The film opens with Vice President Dick Cheney's energy policy speech in which Cheney makes the claim that America needs nearly 1900 new power plants in the next 20 years to meet projected electricity demands. From here, filmmaker Jeff Barrie takes viewers on a journey from the coal mines of West Virginia to the solar panel fields of Florida, as he discovers solutions to America's energy related problems.
All the way you'll meet power companies, schools, businesses and everyday Americans finding ways to meet our energy needs using conservation and green power. Plus you'll find out how Jeff and his wife Heather cut their energy bills in half and use the saving to buy green power. Best of all, "Kilowatt Ours" will teach you how to dramatically reduce your own energy bill and improve the environment at the same time. (56 minutes, 2008)
DVD extras include: 56-minute, 24-minute and 12-minute versions of the documentary; a message from director Jeff Barrie; and Jeff and Heather's energy tips; trailers of other Barrie docs.
