This film is of value to anyone wrestling with rational, sustainable energy policy while preserving the priceless elements of cultural heritage, private enterprise above-ground, and the precious health not only of people but the land itself.”
Bill Richardson, Governor of New Mexico

I saw this on TV last night and it had a huge impact on me.
