Synopsis:
"The Little Plant That Could IS BACK" is a 25-minute documentary which tells the story of the Stuyvesant Falls hydroelectric plant in New York State, a renewable energy resource built in 1900, which was almost destroyed but is now back online thanks to the efforts of the local community.
The film uses archival footage to show how the United States developed a culture that treated electricity as an endless resource and promoted energy consumption as the key to a better life. Even after the first "energy crisis", the country's insatiable thirst for energy continued and the importance of small, local, electricity generation was overlooked. But then when a community saw that its landmark hydroelectric plant was about to be closed by a greedy electric utility company, it fought back.
The film also explains that hydroelectric power is actually solar power and looks at the specifics of how electricity is generated from falling water.
