Winds of Change is a documentary that provides a global overview of the use of wind power and technology. With an emphasis on emerging technologies and public policy, this documentary also looks at  wind farms, wind energy in developing countries, efficiency, economics, and what the future holds. 

This excellent film details research that has found the overall carbon footprint of natural gas power plants may be as large as those of coal fired power plants.  It debunks the concept of natural gas as a "bridge fuel," and relates well to our campaign against Tradinghouse Lake. The growth of renewables is also highlighted, especially wind energy.
