Project Overview

Set in a Rust Belt town facing economic collapse, this series follows workers, engineers, and community leaders as they transform their coal-dependent economy into a clean energy hub. Solar farms, battery manufacturing, and green infrastructure promise new jobs—but the transition isn't simple.

As cutting-edge energy technology meets working-class reality, the series explores both the promise and pain of economic transformation. Can innovation create opportunity for everyone? Or will the clean energy future leave some communities behind?

This is a story about change, dignity, and the future of work—where technology isn't just about progress, it's about people.

Latest Ideas

The Challenge

How do we tell an honest story about energy transition that respects both the urgency of climate action and the dignity of workers in fossil fuel industries?

The Vision

To show that the clean energy future doesn't have to be a zero-sum game—innovation can create opportunity when we center people in the transition.
