Sierra Club Showing of Kilowatt Ours at the Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse (on Columbia Pike, S. Arlington)

According to the website,

"When: Sunday, April 22nd (EARTH DAY!) at 6:30PM
How Much?: Suggested Donation of $5 to Sierra Club

Kilowatt Ours Reveals the Consequences of Our Coal Powered Economy. The film opens with Vice President Dick Cheney's energy policy speech in which Cheney makes the claim that America needs nearly 1900 new power plants in the next 20 years to meet projected electricity demands.

From here, filmmaker Jeff Barrie takes viewers on a journey from the coal mines of West Virginia to the solar panel fields of Florida, as he discovers solutions to America's energy related problems."
