A recap of Winds of Change, an episode of Years of Living Dangerously in which the actress America Ferrera reported on organised opposition to wind power in the United States, and the New York Times writer Mark Bittman examined whether natural gas deserved its reputation as a cleaner alternative.
The recap argued that the episode had been misnamed, since what it documented was stagnation rather than change: renewable projects meeting well funded resistance while gas was promoted as the bridge fuel. It noted that the environmental case for gas released by fracking was, on the programme's own account, unsettled.
