Michael Moore is worried about Earth, although he’s not focused on fossil fuel and cow farts. Instead, he’s worried because he just discovered that green energy is a scam. That’s the point in his new documentary, “Planet of the Humans,” which was released Tuesday for free on YouTube. In a long and poorly written introduction on the YouTube page, the people who made the video explain that the green revolution could have worked out if only the whole movement hadn't sold itself out to the rich and powerful, resulting in a sham and a scam.

Unlike the author, I think Moore is stupid.

A relative bought the hype and put solar panels on the roof thinking it would be very economical. Things didn't work out and they are sad now.

Well he's half way there. Hasn't grasped that the whole thing is a fraud he only gets that the proposed solutions are a farce. I guess it big news when a lefty figures out half of what we have known for decades

It might just be an "oops" if no one hadn't been forever screaming at Moore and the greens these exact same facts. To not know this stuff you would have to be as dumb as a slug or willfully ignorant to a fault. Or maybe following an agenda that is collapsing all around you.
What Moore is NOT doing is broadening his awareness. He is just climbing from one mud hole into another.
The general theory about infinite population growth on a finite planet being bad is, of course, correct. The question is, what is the solution? The solution is capitalism and advanced societies. Advanced societies have lower birth rates and are far more efficient to make better use of limited resources. In general, third world countries have the highest birth rates.
Moore being a Communist will be incapable of recognizing this reality. Maybe he will have another epiphany before he dies. The rest of us shouldn't bother to wait for him.

Green energy has always been a money laundering scheme for corrupt democrats.
You give your contributors free government money, they sneak half of it back to you, they go bankrupt, rinse and repeat.

Yes, green energy is a scam and so is the college university system, the billions funneled into urban programs, the liberal media, et. al. Liberalism is a scam.

Moore has gotten rich peddling victimhood, climate doom, and leftist ideologies that unfortunately half the country buys into. None of them have intellectual curiosity or they would have figured this out a long time ago.

The good news for liberals is that younger and dumber kids are being born every day to replace those who have discovered the truth. From what I see around me, it's a never-ending supply.

FTA: The man is a moron, not because he’s stupid, but because he wears ideologically-tinted intellectual blinders.
It's amazing how much you can't see when wearing those blinders, too.

My favorite was renewable jet fuel. Michael Moore could help save the planet if he stopped consuming so much food, adding to the flatulence problem, and reducing the demands on agriculture! He's so fat he increases the amount of jet fuel used, due to the added weight, when he flies.

"For free on YouTube" is still spending more than his mockumentaries are worth... I'd rather watch silent films than hear that arse spew his marxist garbage.

Since he is for thinning the herd, may we assume he is he fine with Chinese-made pandemics?

Yo, Mikey. Put down that double cheeseburger and stare into the light. It's hoax city, a way to shuttle our hard-earned tax dollars off to the third world and make the local lefties feel like they're saving civilization. It's bull cookies, baby. For your next blockbuster on youtube you could do a film that demonstrates that Carter Page was treated unfairly. And for an encore--how about hooking up Sleepy Joe to an fMRI machine and see if there's any detectable brain activity?

#7, since everything the lefties say is a lie, including the words "a", "and", and "the", they believe everybody else is always lying too. So they don't listen to logic or reason or facts, because they think they are being lied to, just as they always do.

FTA: "Moore said that he, like many people, thought electric cars were a good idea, "but I didn't really think about where is the electricity coming from?"
That statement is the best admission of stupidity I've ever seen.
Rush Limbaugh has called electric cars "coal-powered cars" for years and Moore calls Rush stupid?????

The green agenda has been a hoax from day one. It is built on lies.
Calling the all electric car non-polluting is one of the whoppers. Just the chemicals and energy needed to manufacture the batteries for one are more polluting than the fumes from an internal combustion car. And, disposal of those batteries is a nightmare. But, that is just the beginning! Those batteries need to be recharged. The additional power that power plants have to produce to charge those batteries increases the pollution they produce. If it comes from a fossil fuel power plant, it is about the same as that from an internal combustion car. From a nuclear plant, the portion associated with processing the nuclear fuel plus a nasty disposal problem when the spent fuel needs replacing. Wind or Solar, the pollution of making and maintaining the wind mills or collectors and the backup generators when the Sun doesn't shine or the Wind doesn't blow,

meanwhile 31,000 scientists say that global warming is BS. The earth goes through cycles of Warmth and Cooling. The only ones making a case for global warming are the Al Gores of the world.

Fortunately “sustainable” energy is not a problem for US because we are the largest oil and gas producer in the World thanks to capitalism. We need safer, heavier and cheaper cars so we must re-elect President Trump the Great.

This had Michael Mooron on the proverbial ropes only to fall to the canvas with him. It exposed the green hype as scam, and made Isaac Newton spin in the reverse direction with this incredible whopper: " Generation IV nuclear energy will be a clean, safe, infinite energy source."
Infinite? Yeah, and I've got a cold fusion perpetual motion device, right here in my briefcase, and it can be yours for the low, low price of a Billion bucks.

Its easy to laugh at Big Mike, but he is an accomplished propaganda pusher and the gravy train is slowing down. Through President Trump's leadership the USA achieved oil independence. The current slump is entirely related to the faux-shut down due to the China virus. When majority re-opening is achieved our economy will bounce back; there is nothing wrong with our fundamentals. (That is why the Left is fighting so hard to keep us shut down.) However, the globalists have spent trillions over decades to advance their scam and install their solar panels and windmills. As their critics are proven right by everyday experience, more people are getting wise to the folly. We also have a President that is not a shill for the Cloward-Priven strategy and is more than willing to educate the public about the true nature of its proponents.
This video is Mike's attempt to retreat and regroup. It is no longer tenable to push the expensive green government solutions because they have being discredited. So, Mikey is throwing the blame onto corrupt capitalists that betrayed the movement; the ideology is pure but the implementation was hi-jacked. This allows the Greenies to hold fast to their dogma while continuing to ignore its true outcomes and results. Think Hitler in the bunker.

In the early 1970s, the Arabs decided to scam us and cut off the oil flow, causing a lot of disruption in normal lives. "Experts" told us that we only had a decade or two of oil left, and it would be getting more expensive every year, inexorably, nothing to be done about it.
I chose to take several solar energy courses in college under Dr. Eric Farber, one of the real pioneers of solar energy engineering, as part of mech eng degrees. I built hybrid electric vehicles as part of my master's thesis, considered a career in solar engineering. After years of intensive study of alternate energy, it finally became clear to me that while all this "solar energy stuff' would actually work, it would never be economically viable.
I had a career in making advanced weapons, and twenty years after abandoning solar energy, I designed and built a solar electric system for a remote vacation cabin, where mains power wasn't available. Twenty five years later, that solar power system has some newer control electronics, and an addition of some more capacity, but it still provides the lights, water and other small electrical requirements. But most energy requirements are from propane and wood. Solar heating, cooling, cooking and refrigeration are ridiculously uneconomical.
And I still know that solar energy will NEVER be economically viable anywhere that you can get access to the main power lines from a central power plant.
Moore is VERY ignorant and many decades late to realize what I realized in 1976 or so.
