http://www.connectingforchange.org  Ott puts the 2010 BP disaster in the larger perspective of America's energy future, the devastating costs of our fossil fuel dependency in communities across the country, and what ordinary people are doing to create more self-reliant, sustainable, and democratic communities. Ott engages the audience to imagine what it would take to change the endgame----to transition off fossil fuels and confront the dangerous expansion of corporate power. It is a call to action.
