This site askes everyone to look harder at their daily relationship to energy. We created it to help heighten awareness of the toll that energy production and consumption take on our economy, security, health, and natural resources. When we understand more about the realities of American power, we can make wiser choices about energy through conservation and civic action.
Great new website from Pentagram partners that attempts to show a portrait of communities living in the shadow of power plants. There are a few power plants near my house, but they are on a much smaller scale (and more disguised!) than the ones depicted here. The photography is excellent, and the idea for the website is good too. It tries to connect photos through a physical place through the use of a map. I lose my mental map of the images location when scrolling through them all, but they are compelling enough to give the location a backseat.
