Introduction
Renewable energy, once considered too expensive to deploy on a large scale, is making major inroads in the United States. To traditional energy producers, the shift to cleaner energy sources such as wind and solar represents a threat to their interests in the market. Through a network of well-funded political organizations, fossil fuel interests are battling to shut down renewable energy standards in the states.
In Against the Wind, Correspondent America Ferrera profiles prominent climate skeptic James Taylor of the Heartland Institute as he crusades against clean energy, and investigates the battle over the future of renewable energy in the US.
