A scene from Billy Bob Thornton\u2019s new show is going viral after striking a chord with Americans skeptical of the green energy racket.<\/p>\n
The clip went so viral that it apparently ruffled the feathers of the president behind a powerful green energy<\/a> trade association, prompting him to pen a long-winded and desperate mockery of the show in response.<\/p>\n The video, taken from the the third episode of the first season of \u201cLandman,\u201d gained tens of millions of views across social media after its Sunday airing.<\/p>\n In the scene, Thornton, the lead actor in the show, savages wind turbines<\/a> as an inefficient power source heavily reliant on the petrochemical industry.<\/p>\n \u201cDo you have any idea how much diesel they had to burn to mix that much concrete?\u201d Thornton\u2019s character, Tommy Norris, asked Rebecca Falcone, played by Kayla Wallace, regarding the turbines surrounding them.<\/p>\n \u201cOr make that steel and haul this s*** out here and put it together with a 450-foot crane?\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s not just the raw materials or the petroleum-chugging supply chain needed to shape and put them in place that Thornton\u2019s character called out; he also savaged the long-term demand of the alternative energy.<\/p>\n \u201cYou want to guess how much oil it takes to lubricate that f***ing thing? Or winterize it?\u201d Thornton\u2019s character asked. \u201cIn its 20-year lifespan, it won\u2019t offset the carbon footprint of making it.\u201d<\/p>\n While not mentioned in the show, disposal of turbine parts is a perennial problem in the industry. In 2020, mapping satellites revealed damaged turbine blades, too strong to crush and so resilient that they won\u2019t decompose if left outside, are simply being buried beneath the earth<\/a>.<\/p>\n Thornton\u2019s character didn\u2019t limit his ire to wind energy.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd don\u2019t get me started on solar panels and the lithium in your Tesla battery,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd never mind the fact that, if the whole world decided to go electric tomorrow, we don\u2019t have the transmission lines to get the electricity to the cities. It\u2019d take 30 years if we started tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n He emphasized the foundational place petrochemicals have on world society.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd, hell, it\u2019s in everything,\u201d he said. \u201cThat road we came in on. The wheels on every car ever made, including yours. It\u2019s in tennis rackets and lipstick and refrigerators and antihistamines. Pretty much anything plastic. Your cell phone case, artificial heart valves. Any kind of clothing that\u2019s not made with animal or plant fibers. Soap, f***ing hand lotion, garbage bags, fishing boats. You name it. Every f***ing thing.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd you know what the kicker is? We\u2019re gonna run out of it before we find its replacement.\u201d<\/p>\n The video clip can be seen below.<\/p>\n WARNING: The following video contains vulgar language that some readers may find offensive.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Every left-winger should have their eyes held open and be forced to watch this on repeat until it sinks in.<\/p>\n pic.twitter.com\/o9mdkh5fWE<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) November 25, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Despite the tens of millions of views and countless comments, it seems not everyone is happy with the viral video.<\/p>\n \u201cThe scene has circulated furiously around social media, being shared by fossil fuel advocates, oil executives, and even a U.S. Senator,\u201d Advanced Power Alliance President Jeff Clark wrote<\/a> in response to the video. \u201cThe problem is that it\u2019s misinformation and, to respectfully use Tommy Norris\u2019s vernacular, it\u2019s total bulls***.\u201d<\/p>\n Is it any surprise that the head of the APA, an industry trade organization that promotes alternative energy, is protesting this scene\u2019s popularity?<\/p>\n Clark went above and beyond, however, and submitted a 10-paragraph, 757-word rewrite of the scene.<\/p>\n You\u2019re free to read it, but just know that 95 percent of it is a fantastical rant against the type of people Clark apparently pictures Thornton\u2019s character, and his scene\u2019s many fans, to be.<\/p>\n When it comes to wind turbines, it seems the story is anything but clean<\/a>.<\/p>\n This article appeared originally on The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
