This is a personal documentary - the story of the Pedernales Electric Cooperative revolution. In 2006, the co-op was a corrupt dynasty, run by a self-serving, self-perpetuating board of directors and an authoritarian, self-dealing general manager (who has recently been convicted on several counts). When I called to find out what sort of green programs were offered, I found that the co-op was wrong-headed about that too. That 2006 phone call was the beginning of what was to be a major shake-up at the organization. After telling the revolution story, the second half of this video explores a few electric co-ops that are doing it right.
