Lights, Camera, Solar Panels, Action!

Tor Valenza is the author and narrator of the Probably True Solar Stories podcast and founder of UnThink Solar PR and Communications. Before representing top installers and manufacturers in the solar industry Tor was a television writer for several shows including Stargate, Dharma and Greg, and The Dead Zone. He joined me on the podcast today to talk about the lack of visibility of solar power in film and TV. We discuss why we should change that and how we could change that. We also take a look at an op-ed written by Senator Barrasso of Wyoming criticizing solar energy that has been repeatedly quoted on news outlets such as Fox News. But using a little bit of facts and logic we were able to break down the article into it's component parts of fibs and untruths. And we take a few blockbuster films and add a line of dialogue or additional camera angle to show how to potentially promote clean energy with minimal effort.
