I recently attended a screening of the film Switch - created by an alum from the University of Michigan (GO BLUE!!) regarding the energy challenge we face today.  It did an excellent job of setting up the problem, namely burgeoning population growth and increased consumption, and stated pros and cons for each major energy source (coal, oil, gas, renewables, nuclear, etc).  There was no rhetoric, no bias, no advocating one over the other - just a simple message that each source has something good and bad associated and that we as a society will need to make a choice.

I have no idea if or how the movie is available - I'm trying to find some more information as I think it is an excellent watch for everyone.  If anyone else has seen it please speak up, or if there is some additional information on how to find it.

Cheers!
