These are the stories polluters tell each other as they throw trash out their windows, or pee of their swim platform. It helps to ease their consciences.

Supplying electricity to movies makers is part of my business. Usually done with small crystal generators, not much power really. But of course they use fuel. However it's a minute fraction of the electricity the public uses to watch the same movie in their homes.

Here we have the people that think one guy cruising in a 1,700HP boat is OK. But complaining about a 209HP generator used to make a movie with a crew of hundreds and an audience into the hundreds of millions.
