Blind Spot: The Energy Crisis

There's been a lot of talk lately about green jobs and moving toward a green economy. Van Jones has said it's not just that we have a president who's black but that for the first time we have a president who's green.

Even with a president who recognizes the depth of the environmental crisis, are we capable of addressing the energy crisis and our dependence on oil? And can we break what some have called our addiction to petroleum and petroleum based products? Adolfo Doring's new film, Blind Spot, explores what the consequences of cheap, abundant energy have been for the global environment and how we might move toward a different kind of economy.
