The Simpsons embrace ...
This is a must for when you're feeling a little off colour: [Think cryptically]

Of course, there is a also serious side.

Quote:For your readers with a flagrant disregard for property rights (or with a Sky subscription), this pirate website <http://www.wtso.net/movie/479- 119_The_Squirt_And_The_Whale.html> shows the Simpsons (or at least Homer) embracing "renewable" technology with a wind-turbine in the garden, and Homer declaring with passion: "From now on, the Simpsons are living... INTERMITTENTLY." (06'04", The Squirt and the Whale).
The fact that viewers are expected to get the jokes about wind turbines suggests a pretty widespread understanding of the myths surrounding alleged alternative energy (although the Simpsons is, of course, pitched way above the heads of what you might charitably call average viewers).

It is our attitude toward free thought and free expression that will determine our fate. There must be no limit on the range of temperate discussion, no limits on thought. No subject must be taboo. No censor must preside at our assemblies.

–William O. Douglas, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1952
