The agenda to \u201cprotect the planet\u201d might be more about consolidating power than ensuring a greener tomorrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGlass Onion,\u201d the sequel to 2019\u2019s hit film \u201cKnives Out,\u201d answers that question as an underlying subplot separate from the film\u2019s main premise. Renewable energy is introduced in the first 10 minutes of the film as a headline for one of the main characters, Claire Debella, governor of Connecticut, as she appears as a guest on CNN.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While campaigning to become a U.S. senator, she lavishes praise upon renewable energy sources and says her biggest issue is climate change, an unsurprising message delivered by an obviously Democratic candidate in May 2020, during the throes of the pandemic. The use of the headline, however, is a clue to which the audience should pay attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The plot line is as follows: A friend group whose members call themselves \u201cThe Disrupters\u201d are invited by their ringleader, Miles Bron, to his resort island in Greece to play a murder mystery game. He is the epitome of the modern billionaire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/11\/21\/movies\/glass-onion-a-knives-out-mystery-review.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in satirical form<\/a>: \u201cHe\u2019s not just a rich guy: He\u2019s a visionary, a genius, an author of the amazing human future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This \u201camazing human future\u201d is a brand-new renewable energy source. The idea behind the energy source starts years before on a napkin in a bar called the Glass Onion.\u00a0Cassandra \u201cAndy\u201d Brown and Bron become business partners, investing in different ideas and endeavors. One day, Bron decides he wants to back a new renewable energy source based on hydrogen. Andy says she will leave the company and take her half because the idea is too dangerous and will not work. Brown, however, cheats her out of her shares, leaving her without wealth and taking away her credibility. Any sign of dissent, and Bron tries to silence it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This part of the plot satirizes the reality that dissenters of left-wing ideology are ridiculed. Credibility is supposed to be based on science and research, but political leaders often base it on ideological litmus tests. Thus, you are not credible if you push against the popular narrative. In this case, that narrative is that renewables are reliable and necessary.<\/p>\n<p>When Bron reveals at the first dinner on the island that he has invited world leaders to come at the end of the week to witness the reveal of the mysterious energy source, Lionel Toussaint, the scientist, says it is not ready, and Debella, the governor, says, \u201cThis whole island could go up like the Hindenburg!\u201d But Bron won\u2019t budge.<\/p>\n<p>Bron surrounds himself with people who are too afraid to disagree with him and are even unable to, as he is the reason for their success. Dependent on Bron\u2019s money, they are frenemies, forever indebted to his good graces. Debella not only pushes renewable energy on<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Glass Onion&#8217; shows us what happens when a corrupt, powerful few try to make decisions for the rest of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1594,"featured_media":1762657,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1762654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1762654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1594"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1762654"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1762654\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1762657"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1762654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1762654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1762654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
