They're Not Green
A Documentary by NETTIE PEÑA
aired on KRCB/PBS on Sunday, April 17, 2011 at 10:30 pm
The Documentary They're Not Green takes the viewer from the wind industry in Palm Springs, California, where it all began, to the larger national canvas where it has evolved into the most highly subsidized, and one of the least productive forms of energy in the U.S. today. This thoroughly researched documentary examines the environmental effects of wind power, including its limited impact upon reducing CO2 emissions, its potentially negative health implications "Wind Turbine Syndrome", the killing of thousands of birds at Altamont Pass, and its contributions to soil erosion due to the degradation and destruction of surrounding vegetation. They're Not Green questions the ability of the wind power industry to do anything more than further burden the already wounded American taxpayer.
