Lynch, Harry. Switch. Austin: Arcos Films, 2012. HD, 98 min. https://player.vimeo.com/video/40489581.
Every energy resource—fossil, nuclear and renewable—is undergoing profound changes. And overall, we’re gradually shifting from coal and oil to the energies of tomorrow. This sweeping transition is the subject of Switch. But rather than advocate for how it should happen, Switch travels the world to discover how it most likely will happen. Switch is also about a changing energy conversation. Today, it’s polarized and unproductive. Switch focuses on practical realities and encourages a balanced understanding. Finally, Switch is about changing the way we use energy, to realize the many economic and environmental benefits of efficiency. (Source: Official Film Website)
