      True, something so many environmentalists don't seem to realize or acknowledge - so many are concerned about climate change but also terrified of nuclear. Because they think of nuclear as so dangerous, and think all nuclear plants are run like Mr. Burns'. Nuclear, though not totally innocent, is a much cleaner alternative, and had people not been so afraid of it in decades past we'd be in a much better situation now. Come to think of it, the evil businessman running an unsafe nuclear plant was a reflection of peoples' fears, what they saw as most dangerous, back when The Simpsons started in the late '80s. If the show were created now, it would probably be a coal plant. No question that Mr. Burns' plant is still a problem, given their terrible safety record, multiple incidents causing release of radioactive material, and Mr. Burns being seen disposing of radioactive waste in dangerous and illegal ways (such as stuffing barrels into a tree) on numerous occasions.

    considering that his entire operation was made from recycled materials, and that he claims (and I'm willing to believe he's being 100% honest in this scene) that none of the harvested sea life is wasted... this is actually significantly more ethical than how the majority of major corporations already work.
    To be clear I don't think that indiscriminately harvesting all sealife from springfield's surrounding waters is ethical, but companies basically already fish exactly like he does, just they do it while generating a lot more pollution.

    Burns was clearly receptive to the idea of environmentally sound business practices, but Lisa forgot that he was of an old school indeed, where hardly anyone understood how to not overfarm. She could have easily corrected the omninet mishap. Tell Mr. Burns that sweeping up the free range ocean was a bad idea because it did a lot of work that benefits humanity for free, and instead the recycled soda rings could be used to create recycling based sustainable fish farms. Burns still gets to kill sealife and make giant nets out of the rings, and Lisa saves the local wildlife.

  • @BaronVonMott
    @BaronVonMott 2 роки тому +23

    I see some people talking about Burns misunderstanding the point of recycling, but I interpret this as him never having truly believed in the idealism of it in the first place - his actions were pure pragmatism. He saw an economic niche, that no-one else was exploiting, and used the opportunity to its fullest. This is reinforced by his blatantly sociopathic justifications for the animal slurry - it doesn't even occur to him to consider the suffering if the sea life, he only sees the demand, supply and profit margin. This is one of Burns' best character moments because it's a chilling glimpse into how utterly cold and selfish he really is.

      2. She had no direct say in that.
      3. Not just because of the vegetarian conflict, but because, ya know, he's basically just totally depopulating the waters around Springfield. Plus, some of those applications are stuff like "explosives".

But even still if she didn't want the money she could've taken it if only to deny Burns several million dollars, and then immediately donated it to an actually good cause. By refusing the money, she denied the responsibility for her actions. She might have felt guilt, but rather than act to set things right, she washed her hands of the whole affair.
      It might have been her good intentions that ended up making things worse, but she did (by the framing of the episode) make things worse. Tearing up the check just let her pretend she still held the moral high ground while accomplishing nothing for her cause and actually helping Mr Burns.
