Oh, criminy, I hate Landman for steering people in such a damaging direction.
I’m the only wind energy worker that most of my acquaintances know and I’ve had at least 5 people reach out in the last year about that Billy Bob Thornton wind rant.
The worst part is that our society has also been brainwashed by fb to think that argument is the highest form of intellectual discourse, so, not only do they want to know if it’s true, they then want me to prove to them it’s not true. Acquaintances, not friends. It’s exhausting.
Hmmm, wondering if there’s a sheep-like way to steer dummies in the right direction?
Just ranting, but I’m loving this portal to discourse, Sammy, thanks for taking your personal leap!
Really interesting to see NBCUniversal back an environmental impact campaign for the "Wicked" sequel. They're saying all the right things with 'Green for Good' and it's good that they're leveraging influential voices to get the information out. My question would be what happens to the campaign once the film ends its theatrical run? Will the stars continue promoting the campaign? Will it come up as part of their Oscars pitch? Will the CTA still be there once the film is available for streaming?
I'm probably more excited for season 2 of "Landman," though I agree with you that the fossil fuel propaganda in a few of the scenes is really painful to watch. There are so many great stories about renewables that they (i.e., Taylor Sheridan and his team) could've used instead of these uninspired tropes about wind turbines.
Finally, I saw "Out of Plain Sight" over the summer at the Woods Hole Film Festival. It was excellent -- a real testament to the importance of investigative journalism and storytelling.
Thanks for all these updates, Sammy! Good to see Hollywood sharing ideas about to lessen fossil fuel use in a PSA, maybe some other media companies will follow suit. Also it brought tears to my eyes to think about Disney helping to rebuild Charles White Park. My kids grew up in Altadena and we went to that park often, they learned how to ride a bike on the wide pedestrian paths there... and had soft landings when they crashed in the grass.
