Running on Fumes:Why aren’t we all using clean energy already?|Past Forward|American Experience |PBS

Summary

This history discussion explores the past and future of sustainable energy policies in the U.S., inspired by the documentary *The Sun Queen* about engineer Maria Telkish. Key subjects include the decline of public enthusiasm for solar in the 1950s, the partisan nature of renewable energy, and the disproportionate impact of energy costs on lower socioeconomic communities. The practical takeaway is the need to address these issues to move towards a greener energy future.
