Saved by the Sun
As the Earth heats up at a dangerous rate and fossil fuels become scarcer, ordinary citizens and businesses are bypassing the federal government to lead the way in exploring a clean, renewable source of power: the sun. By taking a close look at people that have installed solar panels, Nova makes a great case for future solar panel use in this film on how solar energy really works. 

Modern Marvels: Renewable Energy
In this comprehensive look at renewable energy, you'll see how air, water, earth, and fire are transformed into clean, reliable sources of heat, electricity, and even automobile fuel. You'll get an in-depth look at the most proven and reliable sources: solar, wind, geothermal, biofuels, and tidal power. From the experimental to the tried-and-true, renewable energy sources are overflowing with potential... just waiting to be exploited on a massive scale. And unlike fossil fuels, they'll always be there.
