PLANET OF THE HUMANS' STREAMING: HOW TO WATCH THE MICHAEL MOORE-PRODUCED DOCUMENTARY ONLINE FOR FREE

[Miguelito Loveless]

10. I am already seeing my Twitter feed fill up

with the usual suspects now bringing up zombie lies that we have spent the last five years killing. EVs pollute more than gas cars (they don't). Solar and wind are bad for the environment, and worse than coal (they aren't). We will never replace fossil fuel plants with renewables (we are). Batteries can never scale up or be cheap enough (they are and will be), etc, etc, etc. All are now citing Moore's movie as proof.

So, yes, we are now having to re-fight the same battles, meaning that we will waste more time, time that we do NOT have. For Michael Moore to lend legitimacy to a "documentary" so full of misinformation, errors, and factual distortions, is heartbreaking.

And yes, the first things to do is use less, and conserve, and it was what I work with people to do who cannot afford solar. I have helped people trim their power bill 25% by just spending a few hundred dollars. When I first started looking at solar 20 years ago, it was about $15 per watt installed. These days it goes for around $2.75 a watt, in a few years it will fall below $2. EVs with decent range that were $100K or more a decade ago, are now to be had for around $35K. I remember when LED bulbs were $40 a pop.

Progress was being made, and now that progress will slowed by people who will take this movie as gospel.
