Filmmaker tackles 'energy literacy'

Calgary-based filmmaker Matt Palmer made 'Pay Dirt' in 2005, which aired on CBC.

Read the Calgary Herald article on Palmer's commitment to erasing 'energy illiteracy', which he feels is behind many discussions and decisions around our future.

It's a topic that we can all benefit from understanding better.
