PowerTripShow

On May 7, 2019, the book was published. And just under a year later, the series was launched the week of the 50th Earth Day. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. [END] amazon.com/Power-Trip-Ene…

On April 6, 2015 we registered Power Trip with WGA and on June 10, 2015, the trailer was complete. Five years later, the project was on the air.

Here is the press release from February 6, 2015, announcing the project to the world. As part of our filming, I gave a talk for Hot Science Cool Talks @utaustin on February 20, 2015 to an audience of 500+ local students and teachers.

Episodes 4, 5 and 6 focus on wealth, cities and war.

Episodes 1, 2 and 3 focus on Water, Food and Transportation.

The series has 3k+ confirmed airdates on 400+ stations in 170 markets across 46 states covering more than 85% of the US! At least one telecast will be available to 235+ million potential viewers across the country. Dallas will air the series in July, filling in the rest of Texas.

Many thanks to the sponsors who made @PowerTripShow a reality. We could not have done this project without you. @UTAustin @SloanFoundation @ItronInc @Hewlett_Found @RockefellerFdn @MitchFound @TillerNick @forachelP

Because Power Trip is a global tour of energy, we filmed the series around the world: France (Normandy, Annecy, Paris and the Pont du Gard), England, Ireland, Singapore, Japan, Israel, and many cities in the USA (Chicago, New York, Minneapolis, etc.).

Many thanks to the 60+ experts who agreed to be interviewed for Power Trip! @KateWilliamsme @ErnestMoniz @CostaSamaras @Sheril_ @burkese @JosephKopser @PeterGleick @GHGGuru @water4point0 @BOGallachoir @AStillwellPhD @cmjames1999 @olyaeller

we're starting to recognize that the more directly your work benefits others, the less you're paid & worse you're treated. With the pandemic, some also these 'essential' or "front-line' workers are also those expected and willing to risk their lives for the sake of others 1/

Last night was episode #2 of The @PowerTripShow based on @MichaelEWebber's new book on @PBS. If we re-think the energy of food, we can feed a lot more people using less energy/water per person. Yes, we will get our cake and get it eat it too. Find it here: bit.ly/PowerTripKopse…
