Carbon Nation premieres in Chicago, features energy recycling as solution to climate change

On a warm summer night in Chicago, thousands gathered in Millennium Park to watch the new documentary Carbon Nation. Recycled Energy Development’s own Sean Casten is featured in the film discussing energy recycling as a profitable way to mitigate climate change. “I don’t know of any bigger opportunity to make more money reducing more C02 than this one. So, if you don’t give a damn about the environment, do it because you’re a greedy bastard and just want cheap power,” says Casten.

The much buzzed-about film attracted a Who’s Who of Chicago media, government and business leaders, including journalist Bill Kurtis, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn and producer/businessman Craig Sieben.

This solutions-based, “big tent film” about tackling climate change while boosting the economy inspired the audience.  Let’s hope other cities embrace it as warmly as our hometown has.
