Energy at the Movies – Dr. Michael Webber – March 9, 2011
“70 Years of Energy on the Big Screen”
http://energyatthemovies.com
From the gushing geysers of Giant, to the plutonium-powered time machine of Back to the Future, Hollywood has entertained us with unforgettable, often iconic images of energy. Whether intentional or not, films frequently serve as a snapshot of society, capturing sentiments of each time period. Many films have themes or scenes that memorialize collective optimism, fears, and observations about energy. Using film clips as a historical road map, Energy at the Movies is an entertaining lecture that will enlighten audiences about the ways films influence how we think about energy, and in turn, how we influence energy policy.

@AndyR0b Alot of social change comes from movies and film, not just in america. It’s kinda sad that you don’t even know that. In fact the film craze didn’t even start in america.

LikeDislikeCoal and oil are …
Coal and oil are actually worse for the environment then wood. This is because of the natural carbon balance on earth. Trees take carbon from the air to grow, and when we burn wood we simply release that carbon back into the atmosphere. But when we burn coal and oil we release huge amounts of carbon that had last been a part of the atmosphere millions of years ago. Now we have a unnatural balance of carbon between the atmosphere and the ground. THAT is what’s bad.
