‘Landman’ clip goes viral slamming renewable energy: ‘There is nothing clean about this’

A clip from Billy Bob Thornton’s new show "Landman" went viral on X for slamming the use of renewable energy like wind turbines, that are intended to combat the effects of climate change.
"They use clean energy to power the oil wells?" Kayla Wallace’s character said in the scene of the show.
"They use alternative energy. There is nothing clean about this," Billy Bob Thornton’s character said.
"Please, Mr. Oilman, tell me how the wind is bad for the environment?" Kayla Wallace replied.
Thornton’s "Tommy Norris" responded, "You have any idea how much diesel will have to burn to mix that much concrete or make that steel and haul this s–t out here and put it together with a 450-foot crane? You want to guess how much oil it takes to lubricate that f---ing thing? Or winterize it? In its 20-year lifespan, it won’t offset the carbon footprint of making it. And don’t get me started on solar panels and the lithium in your tesla battery."
"Landman," a rural America drama created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, details the life of the billionaire Norris family as they interact with power players in the oil rig industry in West Texas.
Sheridan, the creator of the hit TV series "Yellowstone," announced he had plans for "Landman" back in 2022. The show is based off the podcast Boomtown, a documentary series about oil rigs in west Texas and the wealthy people that own them.
"If Exxon thought them f---ing things right there were the future, they would be put all over the g--damn place," Thornton's "Tommy Norris" added.
The scene sparked a debate on X, which saw users praising and criticizing the clip.

Billy Bob Thornton with an epic monologue
(Twitter, LANGUAGE WARNING)
Anyone watching this show?
Looking for something good to queue up. Reviews slam it as "Too Trumpy" and too much sex and foul language.
"Landman" streams on Paramount+ and stars Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, and Jon Hamm (Mad Men).
And, FWIW, I hate these damn windmills.

And, that is correct. A friends son did some work at the yuge solar plant outside of Tonopah. He was all ‘greenish’ before that. He said the place is horribly polluted. Made him consider they might just be lying. We also hate the windmills. Remember when folks could sue for someone ruining their “view shed”? WELL?

The more I learn about these useless windmills, the more I realize they were the epitome of a "green energy" scam that Obama grifted to all of his donors.
Case in point, a blade fails over farmland, all of the crops, acres of crops, in the vicinity of the failed blade have to be destroyed due to microscopic plastic contamination.
There is nothing "clean" about these windfarm abominations.
