Ecolog:
This is an ad. I feel mislead. The film this pitches for may be the greatest
idea since sliced
bread, but all it was was a pitch for a film, and said zero of substance
(except the remark by an unidentified man who said "We use SO much energy").
So what else is new? The production values were very high, which leads me to
believe it was well-financed. Follow the money.
The German product (even more overproduced) drove me nuts with it's canned,
irritating "drum" beat, but I watched it up to the point where they implied
that corn ethanol was one of the viable solutions, and the old "carbon"
neutral pitch about biomass also turned me off.
Frankly, I don't care if somebody pitches a product on Ecolog, but if
they're going to do it, they should have something of substance to say
that's
new. Why not reveal who's behind this?
Why are net energy calucluations never mentioned in these pitches? It's like
the old saw about shifting the deck chairs while the Titanic goes down and
"there's no free lunch."
And why are effects on ecosystems never mentioned. E.g., what must be
sacrificed for corn, sugar cane, switchgrass ad nauseam?
I felt suckered. I hear that Giant Sucking Sound, and I smell the hot air of
leverage. Follow the money.
