OF COURSE it's an energy corp "We support critical systems in wind, solar, storage, hydrogen, oil, gas, power grids, and carbon capture."
Co-opting the messaging of "coming together to solve the climate crisis" and btw it includes oil/gas/carbon capture😡
The $$$ in greenwashing are insane.

There was something deeply off about this, the framing of it. As if all we needed was for "everyone to come together" and the youth even ask "what made it happen" and the film is like 🤷♀️it just did, like magic...

(Yes, we need to renewables, but that's not the ONLY change or even close to the only challenge)
So I looked to see who made the film (looks super glossy, like pro-level production values, acting, etc)...

I hate that I have to be so cynical.
I hate that the fossil fuel propaganda is getting so good.
I hate that it's funded by everyone's utility bills.
I hate that #solarpunk ideals are scoffed or co-opted or ignored... when that's where the solutions lie.
I'll just keep writing my stories...

@susankayequinn Wouldn't you like to audio talk about this a bit - live or your own edited recording - to humanise it a bit?
Can help you record and edit it for you for free - then you can do it yourself... actually really easy - almost too easy you prob wouldn't do it ! Needs guts but if you've done it before and not scared of yourself or what others think - let me know just to try between us a few audio recordings - nothing public / all deletable if it's not for you...
@collective_truth not sure what you're trying to get me to do, but I'm sure the answer is no (and also this feels very creepy, so maybe don't do this?)
...keep doing my part to build the underground network of ideas and people working for change. Keep doing the imaginative work to envision what real change looks like and lifting up the people doing the same.
When the world is ready for it, the ideas, the examples, the art will be here.

It also portrayed it as basically Abundance Bro dreams, clean energy was the entire deal, no mention of IDK agriculture? Fascism? Climate disasters? How about fast fashion or decarbonizing air travel? Just... nope... the answer was ONLY to massively overbuild solar/wind...
