The fim "investigates the change in focus of the mainstream environmental movement, from its original concern with protecting nature, to its current obsession with powering an unsustainable way of life. The film exposes the lies and fantastical thinking behind the notion that solar, wind, hydro, biomass, or green consumerism will save us from climate change. Tackling the most pressing issues of our time will require us to look beyond the mainstream technological solutions and ask deeper questions about what needs to change."

Spring 2023
The Basin and Reservoir Lab underwent major renovations! Starting in 2022, the majority of our lab space had undergone demolition, with reconstruction largely completed by late spring 2023. While our work on campus had slowed down during the reno process, we're looking forward to ramping up research efforts once again and welcoming students and colleagues into the new lab space.
