Here it is: The Renewable Energy Show is a collection of short informative videos about, yes, renewable energy. There are two groups of videos. ISAs are “Internet Service Announcements” — little satires designed to elicit a chuckle, or at least a smile, while tackling an important topic in the energy arena. Most of these are just over one minute long. The second group are tidbits of information (TBIs) to help explain things that you hear about every day, but may not be as familiar with as you’d like.
Here are a couple ISA’s from comedian Bobby Roos to get things started. (Who the Hell is Bobby Roos? click here to learn.)
ISA 3: “The Secret Boss of the Oil Industry”
The clip that starts this video is from a “documentary” made in 1950 by the Oil Industry Information Committee (sounds like a lobbying group to me).
This video sets up the basic problem: We have been led down the path of gluttonous energy use by, naturally enough, those companies that sell us the energy. The same companies that are now trying to get oil and gas out of some pretty tight places.
Hydraulic Fracturing, getting natural gas from deep inside the earth by forcing millions of gallons of toxic water into cracks in the rocks about 1 mile down, is the subject of our next ISA: “Visitors From Another Planet Discuss Hydraulic Fracturing”
ISA 5: Visitors From Another Planet Discuss Hydraulic Fracturing
That’s all for now. I am writing this show, kind of like a blog, as I go along. So if you are reading this: stay tuned for more on this page.
