BRUNSWICK — Is fracking polluting our water? How dangerous is nuclear? Will we run out of oil? Can we clean up coal? Will renewables power our future?
Get the answers to today’s most important energy questions in “Switch,” a new documentary and web video series.
Arcos Films is presenting “Switch” at Bowdoin College’s Searles Hall, Room 315, on Tuesday, April 23 at 7 p.m.
In “Switch,” energy visionary Dr. Scott Tinker travels the world, exploring leading energy sites from coal to solar, oil to biofuels, most of them highly restricted and never before seen on film. He seeks the truth from the international leaders of government, industry and academia. In the end, he cuts through the confusion to discover a path to our energy future as surprising as it is practical.
“Switch” is being screened at 250 universities across the country as part of the GSA Switch Energy Awareness & Efficiency Program, which also includes a campus ambassador program and efficiency drive.
According to a news release, reviews of “Switch” proclaimed:
— “Smart and refreshingly free of hot air.” (Washington Post)
— “Intelligent, honest and quite effective.” (Variety)
— “Agenda free journalism — that’s what makes ‘Switch’ so impressive.” (Cinespect)
— “Affable, reasonable and unfailingly curious.” (Boston Globe)

“Switch” and GSA program are part of the Switch Energy Project (www.switchenergyproject.com), a multi-pronged effort to build a global understanding of energy.
