How to Power a City

Storm Surge and the City of Newburyport Energy Advisory Committee Present a Special Screening & Discussion

We know Americans want to use solar and wind energy to power their homes and cities. What is stopping us? For some, nothing.

Climate impact is worsening every year. Devastating storms, air pollution, sacrifice zones, and fossil fuel price hikes are the new normal. We know the problems of a fossil fuel economy. HOW TO POWER A CITY is a front-row seat to people finding solutions.

A diverse cast in six locations each leads a unique solar or wind power project. They also find ways to use renewable energy to innovate, activate, and create community. This is a journey through the world of renewable energy: creating electricity without pollution, solar for surviving hurricanes, local climate action, and finding measures of environmental justice. It has themes of science, innovation, leadership, environmental stewardship, and love of one’s community.

Grateful acknowledgement to the Newburyport Cultural Council for its support
