I caught part of an episode of NOVA (almost completely by accident) this afternoon. It was called “The Big Energy Gamble” and it focused on the state of California’s initiatives to move away from fossil fuels and generate a third of their energy from renewable sources by 2020. I always like that PBS programming tends to be fairly even-handed, and what I saw of the show did a good job of balancing the positives and negatives of this plan.
And, since we live in the future, you and I can both watch the show in its entirety via the PBS website. Take a look if you have the chance and interest…
