Those of you old enough to have watched the 1980 and 1990s TV series Dallas would no doubt have enjoyed the shenanigans of Larry Hagman, who as the abominable J.R. Ewing was the chief nasty person and \u201ccan do\u201d oilman willing to go to any lengths to achieve power and profit for the family company.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mr Hagman, aged 81, died last week during filming for a sequel to the amazingly popular TV series. I\u2019m sure all readers familiar with Mr Hagman\u2019s work join me in wishing him peace and in passing condolences to his family.<\/p>\n

However this article is less about the Larry Hagman as actor but as his role in promoting solar energy.<\/p>\n

An article in Forbes magazine by Todd Woody<\/a> this week unearthed an interview the writer had done with the actor and published in The New York Times. Here\u2019s the relevant extract.<\/p>\n

\u201cJ. R. Ewing returned to the small screen on Tuesday, and the boys down at the Cattlemen\u2019s Club just might need a double bourbon when they hear what he has to say.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the past, it was always about the oil,\u201d Mr. Hagman says in a TV commercial that was unveiled Tuesday at the Intersolar conference in San Francisco. \u201cThe oil was flowing and so was the money. Too dirty. I quit it years ago,\u201d he growls as he saunters past a portrait of a grinning J. R. in younger days and a TV showing images of an offshore oil rig and blackened waters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPutting on a 10-gallon hat, he heads outside into the sunshine and gazes at a solar array on the roof of the house. \u201cBut I\u2019m still in the energy business,\u201d he says. \u201cThere\u2019s always a better alternative.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShine, baby, shine,\u201d he says, ending the spot with his trademark J. R. cackle.<\/p>\n

\u201cShine, baby shine\u201d. Love it. Perhaps that\u2019s the motto behind an Australian push for solar energy (with a nod of course to Sarah Palin \u2014 the oil lady herself).<\/p>\n

R.I.P Larry Hagman. Let\u2019s hope your example shines a light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
