In addition to making great movies, Chris also lives in Culver City; one of his neighbors is the giant <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/ccfascorg\/\">Inglewood oil field<\/a>. Comprising more than 1000 acres, the oil field and other oil wells around town make Los Angeles home to the largest urban oil and gas field in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The scene in Gasland 2 had Josh sitting in the passenger seat, filming Chris in the drivers&#8217; seat, with the oil pumpjacks slowly pumping oil in the Los Angeles basin in the background. What was truly remarkable about that scene, though, was that Josh Fox didn&#8217;t burn a drop of oil to film it: Chris was driving Josh around in his electric <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nissanusa.com\/electric-cars\/leaf\/ d\">Nissan Leaf<\/a>. Like many EV drivers, Chris&#8217;s Leaf is recharged by rooftop solar panels on his home.<\/p>\n<p>In that scene, we could glimpse the 20th century dirty fossil fuel paradigm colliding with the 21st century powered by clean renewable energy. We know we face a tough battle against the oil and gas industry but the good news is that these problems aren&#8217;t unsolvable. Chris Paine represents a surging movement of consumers who are fed up with the oil industry, and have walked away from it. The solutions are available we just have to put them to use.
