At the time I was running do when talking to someone about a race.

Along with my team, we set out to find the innovators and entrepreneurs who were laying the groundwork for a clean energy future. Mid-way through production, we met Bernie Karl, a wild Alaskan geothermal pioneer – when Bernie told me he didn’t think humans were the cause of climate change, it was a light- bulb moment. A person didn’t have to believe in climate science to still want clean air and clean water. And once we filmed the Green Hawks in the Department of Defense, I realized that national security was another way into the clean energy world. In our travels, we filmed Bay Area radicals, utility CEOs, airlines execs and wonky economists – and they all agree that using as little energy as possible and making clean energy are important goals; whether for solutions to climate change, national or energy security or public health.
