This animated short borrows A Christmas Carol’s storyline to sketch a satirical exposé on energy waste and conservation. In this version, Ebenezer "Stooge", a power company CEO, has a bold motto: to waste is to grow. After his midnight meeting with the spirits of Energy Past, Present and Future, however, that motto is up for thorough review.

    This is by far one of me and my girlfriends favourite things to watch at Christmas time! Doesn't get better than this! Love the analog synth music during the ghost sequences! The art is amazing
