This film was produced by a freshman class at Portland State University. I've always held an interest in alternative energy. Now with gas and other fuel prices climbing higher and higher constantly, it seems way over due for something to be done about it.
There is a lot of technology out there ready to do it, not just for cars, but also for homes. I think the politicians and all the focus paid to them has really stolen our choices. There is no reason for infighting about alternative energy. New energy, as well as old energy companies can profit from it's creation, and it's virtually untapped at this point.
It doesn't mean that you have to throw away your gas powered SUV. Think about it, if companies start producing more choices, they will in turn create a lesser demand for oil products. As we know, when demand on a product lessons, it usually comes down in price. More competition is also created, because when you have more than one choice available and the companies are aware of this, they will give you better service at a lower price.
Look at satellite television versus cable television. Then there are all of those wireless phone choices out there. For example the wireless phones have more companies out there in each area, than do television providers. Prices have dropped, and choices have increased greatly over the last 5 years. Television sets are a good example too. 10 years ago, you would have been hard pressed to imagine the prices, quality, and choices you know have. HDTV, LCD, Plasma, and such.
So in my opinion it's always wise to support alternative energy, even if you have no plans to use it. It will still benefit you, in the long run. If the choices only double and the demand for what's in use now goes down by half, look what happens to your wallet then when you purchase. So with that said, onto the film.
