A Docudrama, “Harnessing The Sun” explores the applications and developments in utilizing Solar Energy to benefit mankind, and the planet Earth. Academy Award Nominee (“Only When I Laugh”) Joan Hackett, and an expert cast, reveal the unique and increasingly important uses of Solar Energy. An outgrowth of Writer/Director Dirk Summers’ Award winning “Survival of Spaceship Earth,” “Harnessing The Sun” explores the nine categories of Solar Energy: Active; Passive; Wind Power; Biomas; Photovoltaics; OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion); Hydropower; Satellite Power Systems; and Thermal. And as Joan Hackett says in her closing scene of “Harnessing The Sun,” “We must embrace the sun. To ignore it is to commit planetary suicide.” |
