‘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

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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Billy Bob does a great job as usual in this show but I just can't stand his character's ridiculously spoiled daughter and ex-wife.

I strongly suspect that those two will get real lessons in life very soon.
