Quote:For your readers with a flagrant disregard for property rights (or with a Sky subscription), this pirate website <http://www.wtso.net/movie/479- 119_The_Squirt_And_The_Whale.html> shows the Simpsons (or at least Homer) embracing "renewable" technology with a wind-turbine in the garden, and Homer declaring with passion: "From now on, the Simpsons are living... INTERMITTENTLY." (06'04", The Squirt and the Whale).
The fact that viewers are expected to get the jokes about wind turbines suggests a pretty widespread understanding of the myths surrounding alleged alternative energy (although the Simpsons is, of course, pitched way above the heads of what you might charitably call average viewers).
