Nice image of boy walking by generators and wires (outside of brick building). He's not in the center of the frameÑthe machinery around him is emphasized. The camera pans across the silver generator. There's a fade to a vertical pan up wiring/generator and to the electrical company's main brick building with smoke stacks at the top of it. Next the camera pans across power lines. Nice, smooth motions.

I'll stick to coal-generated electricity - thank you. Works just fine, and its cheap. The scrubber was developed over 50 years ago. There ain't no air pollution anymore.
Today Detroit Edison's biggest problem is copper and electricity theft. Between making these thefts more impossible to perform and picking fried bodies off of the poles, well, let's say, its a whole new business.
I like this film.

my first impression when the movie started was that this man was coming in to beat up his nerdy gay son! phew! if you are into power systems (like some are into phone systems, train systems, etc.), than this is a good film for you.
i also checked out how electricity is generated and, after 60+ years, we still burn stuff to generate steam . . . we had better come up with something better than fossil fuels!
