Richard Heinberg: Storytelling Beyond 'Planet of the Humans'

SolarFest Trustee Dave Conna and Richard Heinberg, Senior Fellow at the Post Carbon Institute, enjoy a wide-ranging conversation that starts with their shared disappointment in the recent Michael Moore movie (including the use of grossly outdated, misleading information about solar and wind energy) and goes beyond to address the challenges and opportunities ahead.
