Akihabara News — The new Paramount+ series Landman, created by Taylor Sheridan, falsely claims that wind turbines produce more greenhouse gas emissions than oil due to their construction and transportation. A 2019 study in Environmental Science & Technology found that wind turbines offset their embodied carbon—emissions from manufacturing, transportation, and installation—in an average of 5.3 months, with a range of 1.8 to 22.5 months across over four thousand turbines. A clip posted on the official Landman TikTok on December 2, 2024, went viral, amplified by right-leaning commentators. Neither Sheridan nor Paramount+ has addressed the backlash, leaving critics to warn that Landman risks undermining climate progress by promoting fossil fuel narratives under the guise of entertainment.
