Excerpts from the award winning documentary POWER PATHS.  Narrated by Peter Coyote and featuring interviews with Winona LaDuke, Senator Harry Reid and many others, this film asks "can America truly achieve energy independence?"

Working together, Hopi, Navajo and environmental organizations force the closure of a major polluting coal plant in Nevada.  Many tribes are now taking the lead by constructing large wind turbine and solar projects on their lands.  What the film reveals is that tribes' traditional values toward conservation adn the earth are also solutions for the rest of America's energy dilemma.

POWER PATHS will be offered on DVD as a thank you gift at the $125 membership level.  Wednesday's host is Gregg McVicar.
