Powerful -- Energy for Everyone
A film by David Chernushenko

Challenging where our energy comes from and who profits from it can seem a little eccentric... After all, not everyone has solar panels bolted above the doorstep. Green economy educator David Chernushenko does, and they generate more than enough energy to go around. So why can't he share it? New technologies mean that energy security is within our grasp, but harsh resistance is still being met. David takes a global journey to discover what a sustainable future might actually look like -- and what some people are doing to make it a reality.

In this chapter, David visits the "100 percent renewable region" of Freiamt, just north of the city of Freiburg. It's a region that generates more energy than it needs, and sells the surplus. Wind turbine, solar panels, biomass and other sources contribute to the energy mix.
