PBS is airing two new schedules of the e2 series this fall – e2 design and e2 energy. The design series debuted last fall and is narrated by Brad Pitt. The energy series just started, with narration by Morgan Freeman.
I watched the first episode of e2 energy online here. This episode focused on wind power, with detailed coverage of a wind energy cooperative in Minnesota where the farmers banded together to create a wind farm. There’s good detail on the economics of wind power and its promise for the future.
Autodesk is the corporate sponsor of this program and is featuring a series of podcasts to supplement each installment at www.autodesk.com/green that will extend each episode with interviews from the thought leaders featured in the series.
I commend Autodesk for their support of this important series. I’m also pleased that they’re all viewable online. I plan on watching each episode of the series and am sure to report here on details that I’ve gleaned from these episodes. Here’s the full schedule of both programs.
