21: Sooty Emissions
Shell Oil Propaganda, GTL Fuel and Interactive Satellite Channels
John C. Dvorak discovers a short film titled "Clearing the Air" produced by Shell Oil on an experimental Dish Network channel. The film promotes Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) technology as a way to reduce soot and emissions, though the hosts criticize the narrative's technical inconsistencies regarding diesel versus gasoline. The project is identified as a form of corporate propaganda being distributed via satellite and TiVo video-on-demand.
