“Landman” sheds light on clean energy challenges Re: “Doldrums hang over energy markets,” Dec. 31 news story There is a great scene in the drama series “Landman” where Billy Bob Thornton’s character schools a young woman on the vast amounts of oil and natural gas it takes to produce wind turbines, the resources to make solar panels, and the presence of oil products in just about everything else we use in everyday life. There was also an article in The Denver Post recently about the extended period of darkness and lack of wind that is common in Europe, which effectively negates solar panels and wind turbines for electricity production, driving prices up dramatically and even causing blackouts in some areas. Combine that with European cold winters (I know them well from service in Germany), and the resulting cold-related misery and deaths of people become very problematic.
