Hey #EnergyTwitter – this is a strange time to discuss personal labors of love, but now that all 6 episodes of “Power Trip: The Story of Energy” have aired, I want to do a quick recap of this project since it has been a big priority for me since late 2014. powertripshow.com

It took a team effort to get the series on the air: Director: mathames Executive Producers: Juan Garcia Beth Hames Production company: Alpheus Media Plus many others who helped w/brainstorming, production, editing, and execution of this multi-part, multi-year project.

Many thanks to the 60+ experts who agreed to be interviewed for Power Trip! Prof Kate Williams 💙 Ernest Moniz Costa Samaras Sheril Kirshenbaum, PhD @burkese Joseph Kopser PeterGleick(closed) Frank Mitloehner David Sedlak Brian O Gallachoir Ashlynn Stillwell Corey James @olyaeller

Because Power Trip is a global tour of energy, we filmed the series around the world: France (Normandy, Annecy, Paris and the Pont du Gard), England, Ireland, Singapore, Japan, Israel, and many cities in the USA (Chicago, New York, Minneapolis, etc.).

Many thanks to the sponsors who made PowerTripShow a reality. We could not have done this project without you. UT Austin Sloan Foundation Itron, Inc. Hewlett Foundation The Rockefeller Foundation Mitchell Foundation Nick Tiller rachel pritzker

The series has 3k+ confirmed airdates on 400+ stations in 170 markets across 46 states covering more than 85% of the US! At least one telecast will be available to 235+ million potential viewers across the country. Dallas will air the series in July, filling in the rest of Texas.

Episodes 1, 2 and 3 focus on Water, Food and Transportation.

Episodes 4, 5 and 6 focus on wealth, cities and war.

Here is the press release from February 6, 2015, announcing the project to the world. As part of our filming, I gave a talk for Hot Science Cool Talks UT Austin on February 20, 2015 to an audience of 500+ local students and teachers.

On April 6, 2015 we registered Power Trip with WGA and on June 10, 2015, the trailer was complete. Five years later, the project was on the air.

On May 7, 2019, the book was published. And just under a year later, the series was launched the week of the 50th Earth Day. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. [END] amazon.com/Power-Trip-Ene…
