We can all agree that energy independence is a worthy objective, right? Alternative energy sources like solar power can help free the United States from fossil fuels and the grip of unstable Persian Gulf states. And wind power — wait, not so fast, says "Windfall', Laura Israel's urgent, informative and artfully assembled documentary. An account of rural Meredith in upstate New York when wind turbines came to town, the film depicts the perils of a booming industry and the bitter rancor it sowed among a citizenry.  

With our current issues of our own Deepwater Wind, the defunct windmill in Portsmouth, and the possibility of an East Bay Energy  Consortium being created as a quasi-governmental agency to work on green energy....  this will be a provocative movie to see.

  Wind power:  It's clean...  it's green... it's good.... Or is it?   Hope to see you there.
