Network will release Power to the People with Johan Norberg, which discusses
the energy crisis occurring around the world. The thirst for energy in
developing countries will only grow as economic freedom spreads. People there
see how the west lives and refuse to be left behind. Swedish economist and
author Johan Norberg explores the incredible challenge this demand presents to
mankind: How are we going to maintain our standard of living? How do we reduce
our impact on the planet? And how will we get power to ALL the people? This revealing program examines global
efforts to solve our energy dilemma- and how even the best of intentions
sometimes result in unexpected consequences.
Although daunting, the energy challenge can be
met, Norberg believes - especially if governments step back from top-down
imposed solutions. From a solar facility
in Morocco, to wind farms in England, a hydraulic fracking site in
Pennsylvania, a trucking company in Florida that is converting its fleet to
natural gas, potential new sources and solutions abound. Coal, Oil, Natural
Gas, Nuclear, Hydro, Biomass, Wind, and Solar are in the mix and all come with
their own challenges.
As Norberg finds, the world is
overflowing with energy. The sun is shining, the world is turning, the wind is
blowing, and water flows downhill. The only bottleneck when it comes to energy
is our ability to safely convert, store and pay for it. Coming
