NOTE:
Michael Moore,
implies he's from
Flint, Michigan,
a poor city
that I avoid,
even though
it's only an hour
from my home.
Moore is actually from
a wealthy Flint suburb
called Davidson.
I paid no attention to him
until he predicted Trump
would win in 2016.
SUMMARY:
Moore's latest film,
"Planet of the Humans",
goes after green energy
promoters, believe it
or not.
It tell us that
renewable energy
is NOT the solution
to the CO2 problem.
In fact, everything
we’ve been told
about green energy
is a lie.
And a select few
'swindlers' are
making lot's of
money while the
environment gets
'devoured by the
'green' technologies.
The documentary was
directed by Jeff Gibbs,
who was a producer on
Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11
and Bowling for Columbine.
These two
left-wingers
are telling us that
renewable energy
is dirty energy,
because it does
tremendous
damage to the
environment.
And the people who
make money out of it
are crony-capitalists.
Throughout
the film,
one adjective
gets used
repeatedly
to describe
green energies:
“delusional”.
DETAILS:
“I’m in a
strange
position,”
Director Gibbs
tells us,
at the beginning
of the movie.
“I’m against
our addiction
to fossil fuels
and have
long been a fan
of green energy.
But everywhere
I encountered
green energy,
it wasn’t what
it seemed.”
They visit a zoo,
"powered by
renewable
elephant dung",
which turns out
to not even produce
enough elephant
dung power to heat
the elephant barn.
They visit a
“solar powered”
music festival
and discover that
behind the scenes
it is largely powered
by diesel generators.
They visit an
ethanol plant
— whose wood
has to be
harvested
using fossil-fuel
powered equipment
and depends for
its operational
effectiveness
on coal.
They visit a
lovely old woods
beloved by hikers,
and nature lovers,
in rural Vermont
being cut down
to build a wind farm.
They see 500-year old
yuccas in the Mojave desert
being torn up and shredded
to make way for a “clean”
energy solar plant.
“It was enough to make
my head explode,”
Gibbs confesses.
“Green energy is not
going to save us.”
Gibbs finds people
and organizations
stoking the war
on fossil fuels and
most aggressively
promoting
“renewables”
... are invariably
the ones who stand
to benefit financially.
Their Hall of Shame:
Canadian activist
Bill McKibben;
Al Gore;
Van Jones;
Robert F Kennedy Jr;
Jeremy Grantham;
Michael Bloomberg;
Richard Branson.
Michael Moore says
we are losing the battle
to stop climate change
because we are
following leaders
who have taken us
down the wrong road
— selling out the green
movement to wealthy
interests and corporate
America.
Green energy fraud includes:
-- Low output of wind and sun,
-- False promises of green energy
being free and clean, and
-- Toxic waste they produce.
A biomass plant in Michigan
burns toxic creosote railroad
ties along with ordinary wood
-- all located next door
to a Head Start school
and home for the elderly.
In the wintertime snow
on the ground turns black.
In Lansing Michigan,
tonnes of concrete
and steel were
installed to support
a football-field size
solar panel system
that can supply energy
for only 10 homes
for a year.
In Vermont, hectares of
mountain forest were
removed as the entire
Lowell Mountain ridge
was blasted to make way
for thousands of tonnes
of steel and concrete, and
21 monster wind turbines,
which produce electricity
only one day a week,
on average.
The film also spreads
the usual leftist fairy tales,
such as:
-- There are too many
people on the planet,
-- Our resources
are limited, and
-- Climate change
is a serious problem.
