I loved the cameo by Zond's Jim Dehlsen.

Dehlsen sold his wind empire to Enron. Most of the wind power systems Zond installed (way back when I was enthusiastic about these alternative energy schemes) have become dangerous scrap metal and lubricant spills.

Not pretty.

Scarring even more hillsides with this sort of crap doesn't make the world a better place.
