It would be nice if we could discuss these things, but people get upset. I don't understand it, but it seems to be fact. The incapability of folks to share ideas without getting the ego involved is the real problem, and if people get upset, then it's "political". Seems to me like we're just stupid apes after all.
Unlike most would expect, the documentary is an indictment of "green" energy for the most part, and there's A LOT of truth there. If anything it's biased against solar, wind and e-car technology, imo. They should have presented the actual numbers as far as what we get out of it when we invest in these technologies, but it was more a high level overview.
If I can say so, it basically repeats what I've said WRT e-cars many times on here. In their present form they aren't helping anything. What we need is a change in lifestyle, not a new way to propel a 5000 lb land barge around the country. Same with "green" energy, it doesn't contribute nearly as much as we might think and it doesn't have the capacity to come anywhere close to what we're using. The documentary raises the issue that it's simply a diversion to distract, to give hope that our current system of life can actually be sustainable. This is the real lie, it can't...
I have actually worked as an engineer in the wind turbine industry, I do believe it has a place, but it's also problematic in many ways and certainly can't be used in the mass scale required, so again, we need to simply use less right now, until we figure out nuclear fusion.
