Wind companies are getting pretty desperate these days to push their wind agenda. But the question is how desperate will their future be?
Some wind companies use slick media campaigns. Some campaigns are not so slick.
The wind industry is a tough business after all promoting a product that is based on faulty technology. Is not an easy task and corruption may not be enough to facilitate your development… What do you do?
This is where "creativity" takes over.
One industrial wind company used the teletubbies, yes the teletubbies ,
A Wind Developer exploits children to gain acceptance of Wind Development scheme
A controversial wind farm in the Welsh countryside brought in a secret weapon - The Teletubbies.
BBC chiefs have given permission for the children's favorites to be used as the face of a scheme to provide electricity for more than 1,500 homes in west Wales.
Tinky-Winky, Laa-Laa, Dipsy and Po stand in front of a spinning windmill in their TV shows.
The company behind the scheme hopes their image will help win over opponents against the wind farm.
Awel Aman Tawe, a company developing the scheme, said the Teletubbies brainwave came when it took children to visit another wind farm. "As they approached the wind farm, all the children looked out of the window and shouted: "Look it's the Teletubbies'."
"They all know that the program often features windmills in the background."
Postcards of the Teletubbies were handed out at displays and exhibitions promoting the project at Mynydd Uchaf near at Tairgwaith, near Ammanford.
Western Wind energy ran a tacky video promotion
SEX SELLS EVERYTHING ~
Western Wind Energy's Wind Blows Viral Video Contest was offering $10,000 for the creation of the best video about wind power for this developer and promoter of wind energy generation projects. They put up a tacky promotional video as an example of what they were looking for.
Western Wind was apparently going for name recognition, but it's hard to see how this contest, would reach their target audience of investors, legislators and media. This contest is now over. This was a promotion for, 2006.
I WONDER IF THEY HAVE An Escrow account or a "SLUSH FUND"?
Wind companies use many tactics to push their wind agenda.
The question is how low will they go?

Like I said, "The Pepsi Generation".
marketing targets the minds of children, of all ages. Mindless nagging results until those who should be taking an adult role in decision making give in to it. Reasonable adults see it with some humor, but mostly with disgust and contempt after a while. This isn't the 1970s and people are a tad more advanced than the Brady bunch. The Teletubbies were sick perverts who were really insidious and subliminal. Perverted attacks on children's minds and prurient persuasion on the weak of mind. Fed with pizza and hot dogs ( and beer for sure) until the main issue is forgotten and the product becomes nothing more than ,wind, water, and electricity for the big screen. So they can sit back with a beer, a hot dog, and watch their Teletubbies all "growed up" in bikinis. Children don't make decisions for towns, intelligent adults do. Forget the marketing, don't forget to vote. Like an adult.
How low you ask, lower than whale Droppings
Yea, sex sells. And too many women are all to eager to sell themselves to the highest bidder which is what keeps sexual advertising going.
