Pro Wind Energy Film 'Wind Uprising' Counters Wind Power Critics

Last year I wrote about Wind Uprising, an award-winning documentary about the four-year struggle to establish the Spanish Fork Wind Project in Utah. We just got word that Wind Uprising is screening at the Mountain Top Film Festival on January 19-20 in Waitsfield, VT, as a last-minute addition, where it is being paired as a “double-feature” with Windfall, a controversial film critical of wind turbines.

We also got word that both wind energy advocates and opponents are descending onto the festival for the event. Wind Uprising, which is a  generally more upbeat and balanced approach to wind, was added to “counterbalance” the negativity of Windfall.

    I have never really understood the backlash against wind. s it problem-free? No. Is it far superior to any fossil or nuclear alternative? I believe so.

      It’s “All or nothing” thinking.

      “If it doesn’t solve all problems, and if it can’t completely replace fossil fuels, then why even try it?”

      Of course that makes no sense… but it doesn’t stop nonsensical people from using the argument.
