I enjoyed the film and Mr. Redford does a great job of representing the typical American electricity user. His style is calm and informative but it gives mostly one side of an important issue. He highlights how government actions can harm the solar industry just as quickly as it harmed the Coal industry.
I'd love to see him work with Scott Tinker in an update to "Switched" directed by Harry Lynch which does a better job of giving multiple perspectives. The irony of him cheering "I'm driving a solar powered car!" then seeing him plug it in >at night< will be lost on most. I loved the most "overt" way to save energy; "turn down the temperature on the hot-water heater." How many people will actually do that after watching this film? I did, so that's a start.
