‘Landman’: A TV Series That Tells The Truth About Energy – Billy Bob Thornton in two-minute clip offers a stirring defense of the American energy industry

A TV Series That Tells The Truth About Energy

Who says there isn’t anything worthwhile on TV? The new Paramount+ series, “Landman”, is produced by Tyler Chandler – the creator of the hit Western series “Yellowstone.”

The series is set in West Texas and tells the story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires that are fueling a fossil fuel boom so big it’s reshaping our economy and our geopolitics.

Billy Bob Thornton plays a “Landman” (a guy who acquires mineral and land rights in the hope of finding oil).  A man of few words, he nonetheless becomes eloquent in this clip telling a reporter how the stuff he looks for under the ground makes “our cars and our lives and our planes and everything in our modern world go.” Watch the two-minute clip for a stirring defense of the American energy industry, which despite climate naysayers, is the envy of the world.
