Yes saw this a few weeks ago . The first Micheal Moore documentry movie that I have saw . I decided to watch it because of how the enviormentslist scientist were against it I wanted to know why.I liked it and it asked a lot of good question. But no answers.
As it turns out this project may of been in the works for 10 yrs or more and it used old info about solar and wind power with out up dating it to the situation today.
But the story was not about renewable energy. It was about how more and more people and their need for more and more energy is going to destroy the planet . It is another environmental danger that is very real right now and the cause of all the problem in the world.
Uncontrolled population growth consuming the planet resources.
Every thing man makes only last so long and then need to be replaced, it might be up graded and made better but it still uses more resources and the most important point is that it make big corporations more and more money . That is part of what's behind big business supporting going green . Not about saving the planet it about profit.
Yes green energy has improves lot in 10 yrs and it does,amount to a higher percentage being feed into the frig like 25% wind power in Germany and total of 30% with solar.
No where near that in the US and Canada. We are lucky to have more hydro power all though that has its environmental impact also .
If you watch the movie and listen to some of Micheal Moore and the other people involved in the project when they do pod case or interviews on the movie and its controversy you will realize it not about weather solar or wind or other green ideas will save us . They are more concerned about to many people and how it is causing the problem on this planet by destroying the environment and consuming limited and pollution causing material to feed the increasing consumerism that deed the profits of world corporations and the the top 1%.
It pointed at America put it about the whole world and they are asking how much longer can this go on for befor we fuck our selves out of a home.
They are are asking everyone to stop increasing the population and cut back on using more and more .
Sure that us not good for the economy, it is not good for maki g more profit , but t would be good to help safe the human race as a species and maybe save the planet environment.
They pandemic has allread shown how when people dont move around , cut back on their consumerism there is a profound positive effect on the environment but a devastating affect on the social ideas we thought we needed.
The consumerist economy goes to Shit and we find out how much we have to keep making and consuming to make continued to work smoothly
But it also has shown where we have been ignoring all the problems and now they are 100 times bigger and people die because of it . Not just people you dont know in countries you dont care about . These people is are your nabours , friends andfamily. Your mother, father, husband, wife and children. A wake up call , will we see it as that or just go back to the same old course of self destruction.
There is not easy answer or instant solution . Changing attitudes takes time . And how do you stop the corporate proffit driven economy that hold the world in its greedy hands
