30 million acres of Unites States land is devoted to growing corn for ethanol used in motor vehicles. How much electricity could be produced by solar panels with that much land? How do the energy and economic value of those different uses of land compare? How well can batteries fill in during nocturnal hours? How do the economics of vehicles powered by batteries and ethanol compare? Join us at 6:00 to order pizza and beer before watching a provocative film that addresses these questions. Screening starts at 6:30. Discussion following.
