>And we have the Michael Moore produced doco on Youtube (Planet of the Humans) that criticized the mainstream green energy narrative and also got temporarily deplatformed due to outcry.
As Dana Nucitelli said: "The film's case is akin to arguing that because fruit contains sugar, eating strawberries is no healthier than eating a cheesecake."
That section lists very weak criticism. Some solar farms are lower efficiency than others. So what? That doesn't go against any of the points made in the film. They did not say that all solar farms have lower-than-average capacity factors. The fact that you can get deplatformed for this really surprises me. This level of technical criticism is not even remotely proportional to the massive negative backlash it got. Clearly there's a higher-level battle being fought.
A lot of what it had to say about the combustion of renewable biofuels (air pollution, carbon emissions) was pretty right-on though, and is not very well known.
The fact that there are indeed actual externalities to renewable energy is a conversation that needs to be had. I think a lot of people are hoping they won't be too bad at scale.
That pseudo-documentary was so dishonest, though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_of_the_Humans#Factual_a...
