News : GRID Alternatives featured in Carbon Nation

3/11/2011:  GRID Alternatives is excited to be featured in a segment of the film Carbon Nation - a climate change solutions movie [that doesn't even care if you believe in climate change].

Watch this clip to see Van Jones at a GRID Alternatives installation in Richmond, CA where he talks with our Executive Director Erica Mackie and Solar Richmond job trainee Wayne Gatlin:

You can watch the film and support Solar Richmond, one of our workforce development partners, at the same time by attending the San Francisco premier of Carbon Nation at 7:20 p.m on Friday March 11, 2011 at Landmark's Opera Plaza Cinema in San Francisco! The Solar Richmond team will be at the event joined by Director Peter Byck.

More about the film:  Carbon Nation is an optimistic, solutions-based, non-partisan documentary that illustrates why it's incredibly smart to be a part of the new, low-carbon economy: it's good business, it emboldens national and energy security, and it improves health and the environment.  By bringing the innovations of entrepreneurs, visionaries, scientists, and everyday people to light, Carbon Nation is a film that celebrates solutions and inspires action.
