Wind Energy / Wind Turbines in movies
-
I am looking for as many examples of wind energy in movies as possible. No limits in terms of country of origin, language, genre, etc. I'm primarily looking for modern wind turbines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine#/media/File:Windmills_D1-D4_(Thornton_Bank).jpg but any others as well) but happy to have http://www.dreamstime.com/photos-images/windmill-great-plains.html also. Don't worry about it being on Netflix or similar. I am looking for representations of wind energy to inform an academic paper I am planning to write. I would be more than happy to receive feedback on this question via memail should anyone spot a wind turbine in a film in the future, I suspect I will be looking for a fair bit longer. I asked a similar question http://ask.metafilter.com/76771/Renewable-energy-in-the-media but have been thinking it through further and narrowed it down to wind energy specifically, I just need more examples to be able to examine a thesis I have been developing.

Searching Google with "Wind Turbine" "Movie Review" I get the following. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - There's a boy with a Wind Turbine The Last Mountain Documentary - Kennedy visits a Wind Tunnel on Rhode Island - apparently a heavenly shot. The Dead 2: India - Involves an American Wind Turbine Engineer - Must be shots of Turbines. I guess you could try a Google search for - site:imdb.com "wind turbine"

Watch any Danish film and there is a pretty good chance you'll see a wind turbine.

Is anime OK? Academy City is full of wind turbines in the series To Aru Majutsu no Index and the related series To Aru Kagaku no Railgun. http://www.funimation.com/admin/uploads/extras_files/1600x1200_04_e81517f.jpg which shows some of them in the background. They are actually a plot point in one episode of the second Railgun series. There was http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=13635 and they would have shown up in that, too.
