Overview

  • Vattenfall released a video featuring Samuel L. Jackson defending wind farms and using his signature profanity to rebut President Trump’s longstanding criticism.
  • Jackson’s spot portrays offshore turbines as “standing tall against fossil fuels” and likens them to “a middle finger to CO2” while challenging claims they are loud and harmful.
  • Interior Secretary Doug Burgum described the policy review of wind development on federal lands as a commonsense shift that prioritizes American interests.
  • Federal officials have paused new onshore wind approvals on certain federal lands and halted future offshore lease auctions as part of the ongoing review.
  • The ad campaign by NORD DDB includes seaweed snacks grown beneath Denmark’s Vesterhav Syd turbines to emphasize their underwater benefits as artificial reefs supporting marine life.
