Date: 24 April 2007

Notes:
At a Glance: This program gives a general overview and history of solar power. The program explores the roots of solar energy, dating back to the 1970s energy crisis under President Carter, and how it has evolved today. It discusses the various uses of solar power, whether for entire cities or for a home, and the advantages and disadvantages of converting to solar energy. The program is also on DVD and can be ordered from the website or from Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/NOVA-Solar-Energy-Saved-Sun/dp/B000PWQPAW/ref=pd_bbs_sr_6?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1195143877&sr=8-6

Best for: Those interested in gaining a general understanding of what solar energy is all about--how it got started, how it works, whether or not it is feasible and why or why not.

Standout Features: Visitors to the website can read a transcript, order a transcript, or watch the program right on their computer. The program is divided into six segments, each one under 10 minutes, so viewers do not have to watch the entire hour-long program in one sitting.

Keep in Mind: This program is sponsored by PBS, and takes the position that global warming is a serious concern.
