Two years ago, I had the privilege of touring North Carolina with filmmaker Jeff Barrie to bring you his documentary Kilowatt Ours: A Plan to Re-Energize America. In one week, we traveled from the coast to the mountains and met over 1,500 of you! At the time the film's focus was on the Southeast, and today I am excited to tell you all that the national version of the film is being released on PBS this month.  The broadcast schedule in North Carolina as of 9/30 is as follows:

• Asheville, NC, SCETV, 10/19 at 10pm
• Charlotte , NC, WNSC-DT2 , 10/23 at 2pm 
• Greensboro/High Point/Winston Salem, NC, UNC-TV, 10/23 at 10pm
• Raleigh/Durham, NC, UNC-TV, 10/23 at 10pm

Please note times and dates are subject to change so please check your local listings.
