Actor Samuel L. Jackson is now starring in a new ad campaign — and his first commercial is taking a not-so-subtle jab at President Donald Trump.
Jackson is the new spokesperson for Vattenfall — an electric power company owned by the Swedish government. In the ad, the legendary actor is seen standing on the edge of a rocky cliff overlooking several wind turbines in the ocean, eating seaweed snacks made from seaweed growing beneath the turbines (which aren't for sale). He then referenced remarks Trump made about wind turbines without directly mentioning the president.
"Motherf------ wind farms. Loud, ugly, harmful to nature. Who says that?" Jackson said. "These giants are standing tall against fossil fuels. Rising up out of the ocean like a middle finger to CO2. Deep beneath the waves, they can become artificial reefs, creating habitats for sea life to grow."

These are wind farm seaweed snacks, made with seaweed grown at a Vattenfall wind farm. Mmm! Serious gourmet s---," Jackson said, quoting a famous line of his from the 1994 film Pulp Fiction. "So, what's it gonna be? 'Motherf------ wind farms?' Or, 'motherf------ wind farms.'"
Trump recently heaped criticism on wind farms as harmful to the environment and wildlife during his visit to Scotland. And during a Monday press conference alongside United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump called wind turbines "ugly monsters." But in a fact check earlier this week, the Guardian debunked the president's claims about wind turbines and the efficiency of wind energy.
"When they start to rust and rot in eight years you can’t really turn them off, you can’t burn them," Trump claimed of wind turbine disposal. "They won’t let you bury the propellers, the props, because there’s a certain type of fiber that doesn’t go well with the land."
According to the Guardian, 96% of wind turbines are typically made of recyclable materials, and have a lifespan of 20 to 25 years on average. And while the blades of propellers on wind turbines are not biodegradable, new scientific developments have discovered ways to turn wind turbine propeller blades into cement.
