LANDMAN is ripe for this because it routinely has Billy Bob Thornton go off on wholly-untrue pro-oil rants.
His most famous one is about wind turbines not offsetting any carbon over their 20-year life cycle. In reality, they're fully offset within an average of 5.3 months.

I think it's time the left start getting angrily political about routine stuff in TV shows and movies.
"It's an *outrage* that Dutton Ranch doesn't have solar panels!"
"They cast a man to play Jack Reacher?!?! What?!"
"None of the Fast and Furious cars are EVs? NONE? I thought this was America!"
