Episode 24 — "Old and New Sunlight"When we remember that fossil fuels are simply the sunlight that fell on Earth hundreds of millions of years ago, it changes our perspective on energy use. It's ALL solar power; the only difference is whether it's old or new. All these forms of energy have their own music, and this episode of "Cool Tunes For A Hot Planet" brings together songs of coal miners and anti-mining activists, the songs of oil drillers and of those fighting to preserve their lands, the songs of anti-fracking campaigns...and songs from all over the world in acknowledgement and gratitude to the Sun — along with film clips and interviews for a fascinating musical journey through Earth's energy economy, hosted by Warren Senders.
