Come see the latest documentary by Barbara Bernstein, Chasing Chimeras: The Lure of Deceptive Climate Solutions.
The documentary shows how city, state and federal governments and regulatory agencies are swayed by the fossil fuel industry’s self-promotion as purveyors of clean, low-carbon energy, and scrutinizes how state and federal programs promote and fund “renewable" diesel, biogas and hydrogen development, while disincentivizing the adoption of proven climate solutions. In contrast to fossil fuel industry solutions, the documentary examines the need to implement verified and trusted renewable energy sources (wind, solar and geothermal), energy conservation and nature-based carbon capture and storage solutions that take advantage of natural carbon sinks such as old growth forests and wetlands.
The screening, dedicated to the memory of Bernstein’s wife, Portland filmmaker Elaine Velazquez, will be at Cinema 21 on Wednesday, September 24 at 7pm.
After the screening there will be a panel discussion with the filmmaker and people featured in the film.
