Calgary-based Matt Palmer is a film maker with a keen interest in energy and the environment.

Earlier this month I posted the first of my Understanding Energy video interview series with people from all walks of life about how they understand energy. You can find the interviews on my You Tube Channel at www.youtube.com/Intentionalfilm1.
On Monday I posted part one of an interview with Calgary real-estate agent Michael Wetherup. Michael has some strong and interesting views on the current energy debate, and some pointed criticism of some of the energy industry’s commercial campaigns.
The goal of this part of the project is to gain a great understanding how people understand energy issues. It is not about whether people are right, or that you agree with them, but gaining perspective.
Please contact me if you would be interested in sharing your views.
