About the documentary
"How To Power A City" is a solutions-focused climate story. It is a front-row seat to witness how people are leading solar and wind projects in their hometowns.
The film reveals how each community faces obstacles from fossil fuel dependence to technical impasses, public ignorance, cost, indifferent leaders, and superstorm disasters.
They prevail with solutions that do more than just create electricity.
