Watch this new, must-see video by Joe Hanson of PBS Digitial Studio's It's Okay To Be Smart. He does a great job covering all sorts of energy topics. This video kicks off an excellent three-part series (and I had a great time chatting energy with Joe and his team while they were in production!).
Here at Plugged In, we'll be sure to post the next two videos as soon as they're available, so stay tuned!
