Jonathan Scott’s Power Trip – Indie Lens Pop-Up National OVEE Event
PRESENTED BY: Online Event
The key to environmentally friendly, cost-effective renewable energy is shining down upon us. In sun-soaked Las Vegas, Property Brothersβ Jonathan Scott harnesses that power by installing solar panels on his own home. But when his local public utility commission takes every possible opportunity to suppress that type of competition, Jonathan sets out to answer βWhy donβt more Americans have the choice to go solar?β On his journey to learn about clean energy, Jonathan talks with members of the Navajo Nation, who built a utility-scale solar plant; farmers struggling to make ends meet in Georgia; coal workers ready for new, clean jobs in Kentucky; religious leaders fighting to meet their communityβs energy needs in North Carolina; and politicians at the forefront of the battle for renewable energy throughout the country.Β
Jonathan Scott and film protagonists Deenise Becenti, Joyce Johnson, Pastor Nelson Johnson, and Anya Schoolman will be joining us in a livestream panel conversation that will follow a virtual screening of the film.
