'ABC forgets' documentary which ‘absolutely skewers the renewable energy industry’

A new documentary produced by the “far green left” has in fact put the argument forward “that renewable energy is not clean, not green and not practical,” according to Sky News host Chris Kenny.
Environmental documentary film, ‘The Planet of the Humans,' absolutely “skewers the renewable energy industry,” Mr Kenny said.
“The film goes on to attack major corporations for their pretense, their virtue-signalling on renewable energy”.
Mr Kenny said the stance taken in the documentary is “kinda strange” given the executive producer is Michael Moore, who is a “millionaire, leftist, academy award winning director”.
Mr Kenny said, “why isn't the ABC talking about this, showing this, debating this?”
“They usually love Mike Moore's films; they usually love to promote the political films of the green left”.
“This one goes too far for them of course, it attacks renewables and it attacks climate alarmists that they regard as secular saints, like Al Gore”.
He said the new film, “seems to present too many inconvenient truths” for even the ABC to report on.

Yeah well its correct 90,000 kgs of coal or 100kg of 6.6kw solar panels to stop 90,000kgs of coal being dug up shipped around the world and burned over 20 years LOL. i get it there is waste but its on a totally different scale. coal has to be shipped every single load. solar shipped once. Green is significantly better in 2021. both commercially and green wise. I got a $10k solar system in my house already saved me $6k in the first year and a half and I currently average about $100 to $150 a month income with no bills so I'm selling power to the grid. 1 more year and i've got all investment back, no bills for over a year and a nice little income that keeps going on and on. Wish I could get more solar but government limits it to 10kw of inverters i got 14kw of panels. in 20 years my system will be the equivilent of 180,000kg of coal not being burned.. Ok show me the matsh how does 14kw of solar do more harm than burning 180,000kg of coal? lets see the maths. solar today is tons better than before and it will keep improving. coal is so expensive but they want you to keep supporting coal and paying your bills they don't ant you to get solar and be energy independent.

[@benjiiswaycool]

when I say 100kg of solar im aware a 6.6kw solar system weighs about 400kg around 300kg is alloy frames its easily recycled it's the 100kg of solar that is actual waste or partially recyclable. but way better than 90,000 kg of coal being burned.

"America does not need to see the tax returns of a billionaire who became a public servant. America needs to see the tax returns of public servants who became millionaires while being public servants". Al Gore might not have made his hundreds of millions of dollars whilst he was a public servant but he used his access to his public servant friends to push his climate change HOAX making him AND his friends in office multi millionaires using BILLIONS of tax dollars to push his and their agendas. They've all being thieving off the unaware public by buying VERY EXPENSIVE and BULLSHIT green and renewable energy schemes.

Officials for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, which manages most of Texas’ grid, said that the primarily cause of the outages on Tuesday appeared to be the state’s natural gas providers. Many are not designed to withstand such low temperatures on equipment or during production. By some estimates, nearly half of the state’s natural gas production has screeched to a halt due to the extremely low temperatures, while freezing components at natural gas-fired power plants have forced some operators to shut down. More than half of ERCOT’s winter generating capacity, largely powered by natural gas, was offline due to the storm, an estimated 45 gigawatts, according to Dan Woodfin, a senior director at ERCOT. “It appears that a lot of the generation that has gone offline today has been primarily due to issues on the natural gas system,” Woodfin said during a Tuesday call with reporters.

[@jamesscott7616]

Actually the Moore movie had some good points but also some big errors. eg the wind generators do not use more energy in production than they create. The correct figures show the solar windmills create 21 times the production costs. Also the fossil fuel industries do not price in the externalities like the million plus deaths caused by toxic small particles and the cost of hospitalisation of people made seriously ill. Then that the air pollutionl also reduces agricultural output. Solar panels are radically increasingly efficient . New solar panels put out nearly double that of mine after a few years. Coal mines are very water dependent and pollute underground water supplies.

When someone figures out how to make electricity without having to use the ancient tech of boiling water to turn turbines, then we can move on. Until then we are still using ancient technology discovered many many MANY years ago. Hell even Nuclear power is simply using radiation to boil water to turn turbines to make electricity.

[@jw11432]

@@Mgtow_Monk What does it matter if steam is used to turn a turbine? What does it matter how old that technology is? Using fire to keep warm is about as old as it gets in terms of technology but there are still millions who use fire to stay warm. There's an old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I wonder where you stand on knives? Using a sharpened piece of metal to cut things? How barbaric. We should invent plasma-based cutting utensils so that we can preen about how advanced we are, right? Simplicity should not be mistaken for stupidity. But maybe you'd prefer more distinguished minds on that matter: “Nature is pleased with simplicity. And nature is no dummy.” - Isaac Newton “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” - Leonardo da Vinci “That’s been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex…” - Steve Jobs “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” - Albert Einstein “I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.” - Oscar Wilde

We chose to improve upon fire because the world we live in now as compared to then is far different. In the old days we would have likely died of the illnesses that today are simple to cure. No doubt both yours and my family and friends would be far different than they are now because of a medicine, a doctors skill, a job, a food and all number of things that without growth would not be accessible to us. Now that we have spent so much time with electricity it is time that we once again step forward and improve even more. The way we currently live has begun to become even more difficult due to the many people that are on this planet. If in fact we truly think that we are causing a global change for the worse on this planet things either evolve or they perish though I fully do not believe that solar and wind are the answer since again they are just different ways of doing the same old thing. It isn't How we make electricity that is the issue, it is why. Our way of storage, our way of expending that energy. That is the real issue.
