Delta Energy Club at CGCC Hosts a Clean Energy Film Festival

The Dalles, 10/4/11: Delta Energy Club – a student club at Columbia Gorge Community College – will host a free Clean Energy Film Festival at The Discovery Center on Saturday, October 29, 2011 from 11 am until 5 pm. The film festival will feature three award-winning documentaries including Kilowatt Ours, Last Mountain, and Wind Uprising. Local non-profit organizations and businesses working in renewable energies will have tables and outreach materials at the event. All community members are invited to attend for one film or all day.

Delta Energy Club is committed to raising awareness about clean energy in the local area. Club President Bob Calvert says “We hope this film festival will promote dialogue about the types of renewable energies available and possible options for our communities in The Dalles and Hood River.” Three films will be shown: Kilowatt Ours reviews electricity and various sources of energy, Last Mountain covers coal usages in the SE United States, and Wind Uprising outlines the development of a wind farm in Utah. There will be a question/answer session for discussion after each film.

The Clean Energy Film Festival will be held in the comfortable and high-tech M.J. Murdock Theater at The Discovery Center. Food will be available for purchase in the Café. The Festival will open at 11 am. The first film will start showing at noon.
