90% of New York's Renewable Projects Never Get Built. Here's Why

A rich, documentary-style explainer from Modo Energy on why so many of New York's renewable energy projects stall before they're built, presented by one of its industry directors. He's interviewed in a warm, cinematic set with orange-lit wooden slats, tall paper lamps and plants, which gives the whole piece the feel of a long-form news documentary rather than a company video. Between interview sections, the story is told through a dark chalkboard-textured world of rounded archival clips, taped newspaper clippings, glowing line charts and satellite maps, with numbered chapters keeping a complex policy topic easy to follow. Playful paper cut-out touches, like a sandwich and a slice of cheese stacking up to show building and interconnection costs, add a welcome bit of lightness.
