Found this on the internal web page at work. Everyone watch this and support renewable energy sources! (I work for GE).

Modern Marvels: Renewable Energy premieres on Wednesday, September 20, at 8PM Eastern and Pacific, 7 PM Central on The History Channel. The show will feature Vic Abate Vice President, Renewables, GE Energy, who was interviewedat the Fenner Wind Project along with Dave Haarman, a site technicians at Fenner who climbed a turbine with the film crew.

This one-hour History Channel documentary will show how the combined forces of wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, wave and tidal power are ready to move the world beyond oil, coal and other 19th Century technologies.





On our one-hour journey, we'll see a major FedEx distribution center powered almost entirely by rooftop solar panels, a wind power project in New York State that exemplifies the new cooperation between farmers and "alternative" power sources. We'll visit Iceland, a nation that gets over half its energy from geothermal steam and hot water and the British Isles, where bold new designs in wave and tidal power may one day point the way to clean, limitless energy. We'll jump into the heated debate over the future of the automobile: biodiesel, ethanol, plug-in hybrids, and even vegetable oil, which technologies can best supplant our civilization's addiction to oil? And along the way, we'll see how humankind has used renewable energy sources for hundreds, even thousands, of years: from the Anasazi Indians' brilliant use of passive solar architecture to the innovative tower windmills of Holland

It was a pretty cool show, Put a good spin on the wind turbines. I thought the FEDEX facility that is almost completly solar powered was pretty sweet.
