(1888PressRelease) April 19, 2009 - The Shades of Green series, an educational program that has aired nationwide on the Discovery Channel, was the first show actually dedicated to wind power. Independently produced by DMG Productions, their goal is simple: promote wind power through visual and documentary education.
Ricky Wilson, a producer for the series said, "We are a pioneer production company creating a series about pioneers. Ten years ago, people balked at wind as being a source of energy. Now as the industry is taking off in and outside of our country, people are starting to believe in it."
In 2007, it was reported that 20% of Denmark's source of energy was comprised of wind power. DMG believes that if they can do it, so can America.
Producer Rick Dulsky explains, "The problem many organizations are facing is a misinformed population. If you Google wind power, you will find articles on how wind power can cause seizures and cancer, among many other ridiculous claims."
Shades of Green and the organizations they partner with strive to give an honest approach to renewable energies, and hope to attack some of the misconceptions surrounding alternative solutions.
Two new episodes of Shades of Green will be airing nationally this May on Discovery Channel.
