The Bridge Fund

"Our food and water, shelter and transportation, communications, light, heat and cooling - every function and facet of modern life is built upon energy. And globally, 87% of it comes from fossil fuels.

But, with carbon and supply concerns, we have begun the shift to alternatives. We must navigate this transition very carefully to ensure the stability of economies and the health of the environment. And for this, a solid energy education is essential."

— Dr. Scott W. Tinker

The Bridge

"The Bridge" is a feature length documentary film and permanent companion website that will educate the public about the transition from fossil fuels to alternative energies: How long it will take; what it will look like; what choices will make this transition a smooth and gradual success; and which good intentions could have the opposite effect.

The companion website will include all findings from the film and much more, a user friendly one-stop-shop for energy information, permanent and continuously updated.

The mission

The mission is to create a culture of energy education, so that consumers can make wise energy decisions, in the ways they live, the products they buy, the culture they shape - to help ensure a secure energy future for us all.

Conversations with CEOs of the world's leading energy companies, top government officials, and cutting edge energy scientists will give viewers the true insider's perspective on what's happening in energy.

The film will travel to the world's premier energy production sites for all resources:
