Thomas Friedman’s documentary on the Discovery Channel which aired last Saturday was simply astounding. I really enjoyed learning a lot more about alternatives to fossil fuels in detail and getting the chance to “go” to places like Brazil and Montana to see how pioneers in energy alternatives are putting their big ideas into action. The special also went inside one of the new green Wal-Marts which actually heats itself using oil they use to fry their chickens in the store . If you didn’t get a chance to see the documentary – I think the Discovery Channel is airing it again, although I’ve looked on their website and can’t find any info on the repeat broadcast. When I find it, I’ll post it. It was a special everyone should see. One stat I remember Friedman stating was that in order to combat the global energy crisis, we’ll need to find a way to save the amount of energy we currently consume. Staggering – but Friedman and a lot of other crusaders think we can – and will. I like to hear that.
