Pure Power is in the blogosphere again – this time on Tainted Green. The article is about the greening of the entertainment industry, from the Emmy Awards, to Conan O’Brien’s show to using solar generators on the film Inception starring Leo DiCaprio. Now, we know a little about Inception, having provided mobile solar power to the production’s base camp when it was shooting in LA.
DiCaprio mentioned using solar power on Inception in an article in the Philippine Times, which was captured by Ecorazzi, Huffington Post, the Sierra Club and Forbes.
What’s really amazing about the coverage is that, on DiCaprio’s Facebook Page, 
over 1,700 people read his piece and ‘liked’ it, and over 300 people commented. Heads up, entertainment industry – this is direct response to your positive actions!

Leonardo DiCaprio
PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 05, 2010 – They say that the fluttering of butterfly wings in the Philippines can result in a hurricane across the Pacific. This tenet of chaos theory provides an irresistible parallel to a social media storm that erupted last week over an interview with Leo DiCaprio in … you guessed it … the Philippine Inquirer…
…Ecorazzi posts the Facebook link, and within a few days the story had propagated across the web to more than 50 sites, including Forbes, The Huffington Post, Treehugger (right in front of Chelsea’s wedding, no less!)”

Really nice article summarizing the news of the Mobile Solar Power System providing solar power to the base camp of Inception in The Urban Times – in part: “Christopher Nolan’s Summer 2010 Blockbuster smash “Inception, featuring superstar studmuffin Leo DiCaprio, shined on more fronts that just the Box Office (so far there has been a worldwide gross over over $240 Million). I loved the film – it was magnificent, profound and intelligent – but today I focus not on the celluloid but on the mechanism behind it.
Particularly the environmentally friendly mechanism. The film’s sets were powered by the world’s largest mobile solar power system, the S48T. This system was constructed by Pure Power Distribution is is the first of its kind capable of powering a movie base camp solely on the sun’s blessed rays….”
Catch the whole article here:
(Important note: the blockbuster film was shot in about 7 different countries and Pure Power provided solar power when the production was in LA – most including this writer seem to share the opinion that, while it would be wonderful if an entire production could be powered with solar – the technology is not quite there yet, and Pure Power is providing ‘a great start’.)

Karl Burkart posted a great story about Inception (the epic thriller by Christopher Nolan starring Leo DiCaprio) and Inception the mobile solar power story.
Says Burkart: “The mind-blowing dream sequences of “Inception” probably left you wondering how in the world the film’s producers pulled it off. But the question of how they powered such feats of cinematic megawattage may not have come to mind. The answer will surprise you … the sun!”

Green stars Steve Carell & Cameron Diaz
Steve Carell, the hilarious star of “The 40-Year Old Virgin” and “The Office” now has a new title: “really green comedic actor”. This is because the base camp of his new feature Warner Bros. film project is being solar-powered by the world’s largest Mobile Solar Power System™.
S48T Mobile Solar Power System - www PurePowerD com
The really powerful solar generator – the S48T designed by Pure Power Distribution – was recently seen powering the base camp of the Leo DiCaprio (“really green serious actor”) starrer “Inception” – so you know this solar system has chops.
What does the world’s largest Mobile Solar Power System do all day? Well, it looks incredibly cool, with moveable solar panels that can track the sun, and then fold down for transport. But even in Hollywood, looking cool is not as important as being cool: the S48T produces 600 Amps of pure sine wave power with no noise, and no emissions – keeping about a ton of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere each day – along with the other 40 carcinogens found in diesel exhaust.
