Part 3 of 3
 

"Earth: The Operators' Manual" (ETOM) is a PBS mini-series of three one hour programs that recasts the challenge of climate change as a kick in the pants to the ongoing movement to tap the full potential of efficiency and renewable energy. 

  

ENERGY QUEST USA visits five very different American communities, from Alaska to the East Coast, and Portland to Fort Worth, where citizens are making smart energy choices based on economics and the environment. Their experiences chart a path every U.S. community can follow to take charge of their energy future and adapt to the challenges climate change may bring.

 

In Kansas, the 2011 "Take Charge! Challenge" pitted 16 communities against each other in an energy efficiency competition, with four prizes of $100,000 each for the winning towns. Nancy Jackson, founder of the Climate+Energy Project, says her goal is to reset the norm for energy consumption in the heartland, "putting the 'conserve' back in 'conservative'" and promoting what she sees as a "win-win-win" proposition - save money, build local economies and insure a healthier energy future

"Now there is one outstandingly important fact regarding Spaceship Earth, and that is that no instruction book came with it." 

R. Buckminster Fuller, Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth, 1963
