At the invitation of A1, American environmental icon Erin Brockovich makes a guest appearance in Vienna. Her heroic struggle grew through Julia Roberts to Oscar-winning film world fame.
„krone“: Erin, this question should be at the beginning. The movie of movies was shot in 2000. Are you still in touch with Julia Roberts, who brilliantly imitated you in 2000?
Hardly any more.
Why that?
We respect each other, but Julia is not a conservationist at heart.
That’s why you exist. But has the world gotten any better since the Oscar-winning film that made you famous as a brave warrior against a powerful gas company?
Everything has gotten worse. And to an extent that I could not have imagined at the time.
Is there still hope?
If we all and every individual stand up, yes! We have the technology and the mindset to do it.
Keyword Tesla and electromobility?
First we need to solve the problem with the batteries. Ditto for fracking and all that chemically contaminated water that is pumped back into the ground.
Despite all the environmental disasters, do you still have the strength to fight, Erin?
Ten years ago I was exhausted. But since my grandson was born, I have regained my strength.
