American Milestones Joan Lunden and the Future of Energy

With recent spikes in oil prices leading to high gas prices at the gas pump and economic pain for American consumers, the need for alternatives to oil is increasingly apparent. America’s over-reliance on oil and other fossil fuels may have suppressed the development of alternative energy sources before, but people across the political spectrum realize that renewable energy sources like wind energy, hydroelectric power and solar energy could reduce our dependence on oil. Furthermore, natural gas, an abundant, domestic product, could also lessen that dependence.

The American Milestones show takes a gander at the growth of industries that produce energy alternatives to oil across the country. The American Milestones Joan Lunden TV show highlights thriving alternative-energy and green-energy companies across the United States, speaking with employees, business owners and managers about the challenges and opportunities in these high-growth industries.
