But the Geosciences Department at Virginia Tech wants to give you even more. At this special showing of Switch, we’ll also include a panel discussion with four of VT’s top researchers in the field of energy: Dr. Michael Ellis, Dr. Michael Hochella, Dr. Madeline Schreiber and moderated by Dr. John Chermak. Find out what people in the field have to say about the future of energy!
And the movie is only a small part of the entire Switch Energy Project. At SwitchEnergyProject.com, you can go behind the scenes to hear complete interviews with 26 leading international experts. You can also browse by topic and view hundreds of short movies, each providing invaluable information about our energy consumption and what the future will hold.
Audiences have called Switch “the first truly balanced energy film." As no documentary before it, SWITCH has been embraced and supported by people across the energy spectrum: environmentalists and academics, fossil and renewable energy experts, scientists and economists.
