From filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Brothers Keeper & Paradise Lost)
This documentary movie is about American oil companies that are causing MASSIVE pollution in the Amazon and Lying about it. Visit their website, watch the movie trailer, then watch the movie, twitter it....this story, and other big energy stories like it need to be told!
Big Energy: coal, oil and natural gas doesn't care about people. It doesn't care about human rights. They contaminate and pollute our water, land and air all around the world. Even here at home. Even taking advantage of americans and destroying our land and water right here in the U.S. They also Lie about things they are doing, cover other things up, and change laws so they can take public land and exploit it, contaminate it, and pollute it.
The United States Government is responsible and guilty of these things as well. Politicians are on the side of Dirty, Lying, poisoning Big Energy and not ours. The U.S. government is supposed to be elected, "of the people, for the people, by the people." but as for the sins and crimes of Big Energy, our government is not living up to that fundemantal ideal of our democracy.
We as citizens need to be more active in halting these crimes against people, the environment and the future of our children. Some people say, "we can't go green because of the economy." That is just another Big Energy, Big Government excuse. The truth is that green energy is the NEW Economy, it will be stronger than the old economy, and mend the current economy.
Big Energy is just thinking about themselves. They are not thinking about us. It is time that WE think about us. If we stay with "the old fossil fuel economy, there won't be a future economy, nothing to spend it on, no people to buy and sell from. Sending the obsolete, destructive, and devisive BIG ENERGY FOSSIL FUEL economy into the history books where it belongs, with the last century, and embracing a new miollenium of clean-green enrgy is the only logical conclusion. We all must do our part to make this happen, and there is no more time to waste.

You don't see oil and gas companies (or nuclear) making too many movies about how freat their shit is. I wonder why? Maybe because they can't go on record like that with a flat out lie.
ReplyDeleteRemember the movie Silkwood starring Cher and Meryl Streep? It's about a nuclear company killing an employee that had evidence of their corruption and cover up concerning nuclear safety. Kerr McGee, the company in question never made a movie telling their "side of the story".
Maybe 'cuz they're busted!
Good thing though, the scandal helped shut down Washington States Hanford (WPPS, aka: Whoops)Nuclear Project.
