Documentary Description

When you think of gambling, you think Vegas…a manmade oasis in the middle of the desert. However, the secret behind Las Vegas is not the gambling and it’s not even the connections. This mega city’s power is electricity. The Las Vegas power grid is a network of six power plants fuelled by nearly every source of energy: hydro-electric, coal and natural gas. Together, these plants pump electricity along nearly 16,000 kilometres of power lines. The character of this neon play land is matched by the people who keep it running – it is a place and a people who thrive on risk and an independent, maverick spirit. From Harley-riding linemen to the no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is Mayor Oscar Goodman…and from live wire helicopter workers to a quirky couple living “off-the-grid”…one thing is very clear. Vegas natives are electrifying. This episode takes viewers inside Las Vegas’ incredible generation and distribution systems and examines current transformations that are occurring in order to prevent a possible black out.
