Should be seen,
they sold ya a bunch of lies with the green movement
and many brought into it...
“Planet of the Humans,” argues that the mainstream environmental movement has sold out to corporate interests and that solar and wind energy components and electric cars rely too heavily on deforestation and electricity generated from coal and natural gas to produce them.
“What we have been calling green, renewable energy and industrial civilization are one and the same thing – desperate measures not to save the planet but to save our way of life,” Gibbs says in the film.
A better approach, Gibbs suggests, would be people having fewer children. “Infinite growth on a finite planet is suicide,” he says.
“The film doesn’t have all the answers but it challenges us to think differently,” Gibbs said.
• Solar and wind energy are not feasible replacements for fossil fuels because they’re intermittent energy sources that need to be supplemented by nonrenewable sources, and because the manufacture of solar panels and windmills is environmentally destructive.
• Biomass fuel is even worse, destroying nature at a far faster rate than it can be replenished.
• Electric cars are bad because they’re charged through the existing power grid, and because they’re made of materials that take a lot of energy to produce.
• The green energy movement is full of hypocrites, many of whom are in bed with big corporations and even with the Koch brothers.

"We are turning into a nation of whimpering slaves to Fear—fear of war, fear of poverty, fear of random terrorism, or suddenly getting locked up in a military detention camp on vague charges of being a Terrorist sympathizer." HST
