Solar panels & wind turbines have always been immensely cleaner than fuels. They’re made of steel, glass, aluminum, silicon, copper, a tiny bit of silver & lead, which is all recovered & reused. They use less land than fuels. They pay back the energy, carbon, & other pollution costs of construction in a few months to 2½ years, & produce virtually pollution-free power for decades, until they, like batteries, are essentially 100% recycled, making subsequent generations of renewable generation even more safe, healthy, ecological, cheap.

Cheaper than coal In 2018, India’s “levelized” cost of solar-power generation-an analysis removing the impact of direct subsidies and figuring in the costs of construction and financing for a new plant-fell to 14% below that of coal, the first time anywhere in the world that generating solar was cheaper than coal on that basis, according to international energy consulting firm Wood Mackenzie. India’s national energy plan doesn’t anticipate construction of new coal power plants for at least several years. Even state-controlled Coal India, one of the world’s largest coal-producing companies, in November said it planned a pilot solar project as it navigated a future with less coal. Across Asia, a region expected to account for two-thirds of the world’s new power demand during the next two decades, price declines will make wind and solar combined 17% cheaper than coal by 2030 on a levelized basis, says Wood Mackenzie. In India, solar generation will be almost 50% cheaper, it projects. www.wsj.com/articles/solar-power-is-beginning-to-eclipse-fossil-fuels-11581964338

Mark Hemsworth it isn't about which form of energy is cheaper, the fact is solar is not green due to the sheer amount of mining and coal burning needed to create the infrastructure for it. Your article details a plant that can power the equivalent of a small US town. If we look early in the docu and see the solar array that purportedly could only run about ten US homes, the scale of the one in India would have to be massive. Extrapolate that to running a country or the world? Impossible. Population and energy usage reduction are the most realistic solutions i think.

@soldierofvanity nice but this quote says nothing. Basic laws of ecology state that the energy loss from each trophic level to the next is approximately 90%, i.e., you waste 90% of the energy (nutrients in the plants) by passing them through animals. It's very simple, really.

I had a very vivid dream, by vivid I remembered colors, details, and I wasn’t rushed, I contemplated the scene and even thought I’m dreaming but kept observing. What I was observing was a new species of human, the environment that they lived the structures they lived in and their anatomy. The environment was a sandy estuary type creek running though a settlement of small huts. Plant life was very basic, around the creek edges grew a bit of a grassy verge a few gnarly trees spread far and wide and no other plant life. People were collecting water from the creek. The beings were small slim and looked quite tired and under nourished. They were all wearing very drab tunics and then as I looked closely at a male who walked past me I noticed that he had grass like hair and his body hair was like mycelium. It was very hot, the environment looked like it was basically scorched. These people were not eating, they had nothing to eat. They were photosynthesising. Somehow this tribe had been genetically modified to photosynthesise. They were slightly plant like. The thing I remember was how basic, their lives were, how weak they were and how poor the environment was. It was like everything else had died of heat except these beings who could water themselves and gained all their nutrition from the burning sun.

I've been saying for years we need to invest in energy storage R&D. There are methods available, but it needs out-of-the-box thinking. For example, at a household level, in Africa they use a simple gravity storage system for lights (similar to winding up an old-fashioned grandfather clock). At a neighbourhood level, there's gravity storage (see Wikipedia for detail). At a country-wide level there's building hydro-power two-level dams, that pump the water up when the sun is shining/wind is blowing and use it to run hydro-electric when it's not. A Canadian firm is using renewables & electrolysis to convert CO2 into airplane fuel. HOWEVER, there is an up-front energy cost to build these, for a net lowering of energy in the long term. Also, as the film points out, these processes need to be cleaner too. Make the steel and cement as intermittent processes (which requires a new design, or local energy storage). Ideally we would reduce our energy consumption first - insulate our homes, build cities where work, leisure and home are within walking distance (with pavements - something I noticed was sorely missing in the US when, as a non-car driver I tried to walk to the local store from my mother-in-law's house!). This needs to start with those who have the top 10% of wealth - they currently consume over 50% of the world's energy, more than the whole of the under-developed world.
I also choose, back in the 1990s, to limit my childbearing to two. This is happening too in the West, however the capitalist system requires "new blood" to fuel the illusion that growth is necessary - usually by immigration from poorer (less energy intensive) countries. It is this underlying political change that needs to happen. Moving away from growth, to sustainability, and beyond to renewing the land, rivers and seas that have been polluted by past capital growth.
Interestingly the Wizard of Oz was an allegory about cartel banks monitizing the economy which fuels unsustainable growth and the need to stay on the gold standard.
Reducing our consumption of EVERYTHING is what needs to FINALLY happen and it begins with EACH of US. DAILY. We need to live much more SIMPLY, so we can simply LIVE.

There will never be enough energy until people quit reproducing. Quit it people. Bury your egos and forget about it. Who said humans need to be reproducing? Times have changed and the earth is not fit for new generations in 2024 or ever
I wouldn't catastrophize it so much. I think we need to get back to basics. Greed is evil. We don't NEED to live like this, especially if it involves sacrificing the planet! We are so spoiled that you never hear any of these people say we should simply live on less. Put down our TV's and cars and phones and planes and modern medicine live as the earth will allow. All roads point to this is not the way humans can live forever. But until we get our greed in check and stop spoiling ourselves and the planet with technology in pursuit of comfort and excess, this will be a self fulfilling prophecy. Again the obvious solution is we simply go without a lot of the modern comforts in favor of our planet and hence our species long term survival.

is nuclear energy the way forwards if a way could be found to harness energy released in nuclear "waste"? i understand that there is an initial carbon imprint in the construction of a power plant and also in the decommission there remains a huge amount of land that cant be used. therefore if there is a way to innovate the use of nuclear waste surely this could be a better option as it is relatively clean when compared to oil and coal?

Though GM started to get back in the game, they're quitting again because of weak sales.

Sweden is building an electric highway system so electrics can charge while driving, thus needing less batteries, decreasing the car's overall weight. New electrics with older tech, don't sell!

I think it is a sign of strength and humility (these are not contradictory terms) to admit we have been changed for the better by new information and perspectives. I have been an environmental educator, advocate, and activist for many years, and I had my eyes opened many times in this film.
Watching those 500 year old Joshua trees get pulverized in the name of "green energy" was more than angering, it was painful, heartbreaking. (While watching this movie I was reminded of the somewhat recent moves by the Sierra Club to label John Muir - who did so much to save the redwood forests - a white supremacist. This together with its support of burning "wood chips" (forests) in the name of saving the environment shows the true colors of the Sierra Club.). My eyes were opened to a lot of things I didn't know as well, although none of it was surprising.
@@betsyj59 I've kept my messenger notifications from Sierra Club active post documentary... and each time one comes through it reminds me of their hypocrisy.
@@betsyj59 I hundred percent agree with your feelings on the killing of the ancient Joshua trees! That was just gruesome and enraging. The capitalistic mind loves to classify deserts (and swamps) as "wastelands" so they can exploited and abused in a whole variety of ways (nuke tests, military exercises, uranium mines, off-road vehicles, garbage dumps, toxic waste and radioactive waste dumps and so on...). Even the ancient forests that I, and Muir, love(d) so much were up until very recently (and some still see them this way amazingly) were considered by many to be biological deserts (see a slam on both the forests and the deserts) and cellulose cemeteries and were considered wasteful. It was considered morally right and even morally imperative to cut these forests down and replace them with spindly overstocked monoculture tree farms/plantations where the trees would never be allowed to reach anywhere near their maximum ages and therefore would never be able to provide the ecologically stability and resilience that ancients forests do. Their impacts on carbon cycling and water cycling and quality and biodiversity, much more manageable forest fires and so on... are incredibly beneficial to life as we know it.

Like your food, clothes, electronics & more, some of it’s produced by slaves because capitalism demands it, the oligarchy demand their lion’s share chunk of every transaction & the most possible profit always.
EVs cost more up front, for now, but are getting cheaper fast as batteries get cheaper & more powerful. Fuel & maintenance are so much cheaper (ICVs have 100 times more moving parts than EVs) that total cost of ownership, ie, cost per mile including everything, makes EVs cheaper. That happened for luxury Vs a long time ago & has been trickling down through the models ever since.
Want simple? Try iron-air batteries, now in production. Try sodium batteries, ditto. Etc.
Solar panels & wind turbines have always been immensely cleaner than fuels. They’re made of steel, glass, aluminum, silicon, copper, a tiny bit of silver & lead, which is all recovered & reused. They use less land than fuels. They pay back the energy, carbon, & other pollution costs of construction in a few months to 2½ years, & produce virtually pollution-free power for decades, until they, like batteries, are essentially 100% recycled, making subsequent generations of renewable generation even more safe, healthy, ecological, cheap. (The lead & other heavy metals, most-deadly PM2.5 particulates, released by burning fossil fuels are scattered everywhere into air, water, soil, bodies, & minds, causing death & destruction wherever they go. Fossil fuels kill 10 million every year, probably sicken 100 million more. They waste precious water, decrease the security of the world, cause wars, autocracy, inequality, oppression.)

Running through all the top comments and saying "this whole video is all wrong and they got it ALL wrong and it's not the truth" is only going to help you sleep better at night. Nobody else believes you can continue to cut down trees that took hundreds of years to grow and simply assume that it will replenish. Do we have 500 years worth of trees to burn? Considering the population growth at the exponential rate that it has grown? Multiply it by 100 for every 200 years and tell me the population on earth in 500 years and tell me how much forests you would have to cut down to supply them with power? Just because we import the wood from areas in Canada and Alaska where so little humans live so we cannot see the impact doesn't make it any different. It's the places we don't see that produce the oxygen you breath wherever you are. It's a PROVEN FACT that the Amazon is being cut down at a rate where you cannot rebuild it and that rain first supplies an enormous amount of the entire oxygen that exists on this Earth. Keep removing trees and eventually electricity will be your smallest problem. When the oxygen you breath is no longer produced you'll take your last breath hoping you didn't leave these idiotic comments on a thread that no one even cares about. Take your propaganda elsewhere.

The best quote to take from this film is "Our minds have been manipulated to give power to illusions." - Vandana Shiva
Or to give it its full context "So we are talking of the old oil economy trying to maintain itself, now with another raw material, the green planet. The only reason corn and soya has been planted for biofuel in this country is that subsidies make it profitable. I think the big crisis of our times is our minds have been manipulated to give power to illusions. We've shifted to measuring growth, not in terms of how life is enriched, but in terms of how life is destroyed."
She’s wonderful. I’ve been thrilled by her comments on every one of the films she’s been featured. A huge sage of wisdom and love!
And those are the illusions that most billionair megalomaniacs need them to suth their own traumas and that's also what consumes the most energy. The most people in need are the ones that are poor in their hearts and they will destroy the whole world just so we could understand their misery. It is the psychological problem at global scales.

But how often are coal or other fossil fuel plants being replaced vs. solar/wind or other renewables?
@@scsi_joe yes ,it is happening, but the trend is very recent...this documentary really focused on years ago. The example below is India...but Asia represents 2/3rds of power development in the world.
Cheaper than coal
In 2018, India’s “levelized” cost of solar-power generation-an analysis removing the impact of direct subsidies and figuring in the costs of construction and financing for a new plant-fell to 14% below that of coal, the first time anywhere in the world that generating solar was cheaper than coal on that basis, according to international energy consulting firm Wood Mackenzie.
India’s national energy plan doesn’t anticipate construction of new coal power plants for at least several years. Even state-controlled Coal India, one of the world’s largest coal-producing companies, in November said it planned a pilot solar project as it navigated a future with less coal.
Across Asia, a region expected to account for two-thirds of the world’s new power demand during the next two decades, price declines will make wind and solar combined 17% cheaper than coal by 2030 on a levelized basis, says Wood Mackenzie. In India, solar generation will be almost 50% cheaper, it projects.

Mark Hemsworth it isn't about which form of energy is cheaper, the fact is solar is not green due to the sheer amount of mining and coal burning needed to create the infrastructure for it. Your article details a plant that can power the equivalent of a small US town. If we look early in the docu and see the solar array that purportedly could only run about ten US homes, the scale of the one in India would have to be massive. Extrapolate that to running a country or the world? Impossible. Population and energy usage reduction are the most realistic solutions i think.

Thermo-industrial capitalism is going away shortly, whether we like it or not, and human population is likely to shrink for material reasons... But it is highly unlikely that all humans would disappear, even in worst case scenarios. We are causing a mass extinction, but there will be survivors. If there are a few resilient small animals to eat after the disaster, there will be human hunter gatherers to hunt them..
The point being, the planet doesn't care ; people don't care about the planet either, they just care about preserving an environment suitable to them .

@Steve Brown It's been talked about in the sceptic community pretty much since 350.org sprang out of nowhere with it's carefully crafted 'grass roots' campaign. Same with Blood & Gore, Grantham etc who are more obviously in it for the money. And oddly, this kind of scummy business is precisely why some greens become sceptics as they're no longer in 'denial'. But sustainability is a tough sell because you're asking people to consume less. Much easier to use regulatory capture to funnel $$ in your direction & tell people they're saving the planet by burning it. But as this video shows, it's practically and economically a massive scam creating environmental destruction and energy poverty.
@soldierofvanity nice but this quote says nothing. Basic laws of ecology state that the energy loss from each trophic level to the next is approximately 90%, i.e., you waste 90% of the energy (nutrients in the plants) by passing them through animals. It's very simple, really.

I had a very vivid dream, by vivid I remembered colors, details, and I wasn’t rushed, I contemplated the scene and even thought I’m dreaming but kept observing. What I was observing was a new species of human, the environment that they lived the structures they lived in and their anatomy. The environment was a sandy estuary type creek running though a settlement of small huts. Plant life was very basic, around the creek edges grew a bit of a grassy verge a few gnarly trees spread far and wide and no other plant life. People were collecting water from the creek. The beings were small slim and looked quite tired and under nourished. They were all wearing very drab tunics and then as I looked closely at a male who walked past me I noticed that he had grass like hair and his body hair was like mycelium. It was very hot, the environment looked like it was basically scorched. These people were not eating, they had nothing to eat. They were photosynthesising. Somehow this tribe had been genetically modified to photosynthesise. They were slightly plant like. The thing I remember was how basic, their lives were, how weak they were and how poor the environment was. It was like everything else had died of heat except these beings who could water themselves and gained all their nutrition from the burning sun.
Strange. I just read a story like that......

I've been saying for years we need to invest in energy storage R&D. There are methods available, but it needs out-of-the-box thinking. For example, at a household level, in Africa they use a simple gravity storage system for lights (similar to winding up an old-fashioned grandfather clock). At a neighbourhood level, there's gravity storage (see Wikipedia for detail). At a country-wide level there's building hydro-power two-level dams, that pump the water up when the sun is shining/wind is blowing and use it to run hydro-electric when it's not. A Canadian firm is using renewables & electrolysis to convert CO2 into airplane fuel.
HOWEVER, there is an up-front energy cost to build these, for a net lowering of energy in the long term. Also, as the film points out, these processes need to be cleaner too. Make the steel and cement as intermittent processes (which requires a new design, or local energy storage).
Ideally we would reduce our energy consumption first - insulate our homes, build cities where work, leisure and home are within walking distance (with pavements - something I noticed was sorely missing in the US when, as a non-car driver I tried to walk to the local store from my mother-in-law's house!). This needs to start with those who have the top 10% of wealth - they currently consume over 50% of the world's energy, more than the whole of the under-developed world.
I also choose, back in the 1990s, to limit my childbearing to two. This is happening too in the West, however the capitalist system requires "new blood" to fuel the illusion that growth is necessary - usually by immigration from poorer (less energy intensive) countries. It is this underlying political change that needs to happen. Moving away from growth, to sustainability, and beyond to renewing the land, rivers and seas that have been polluted by past capital growth.
Reminds me of the moment in the Wizard of Oz when Toto pulls back the green curtain to reveal the truth about the wizard.

Except everyone already knew all of this... wow profiteers in the green industry?? Color me surprised.
Interestingly the Wizard of Oz was an allegory about cartel banks monitizing the economy which fuels unsustainable growth and the need to stay on the gold standard.

Why “Planet of the Humans” is crap
Tom Athanasiou, April 23, 2020
There will never be enough energy until people quit reproducing. Quit it people. Bury your egos and forget about it. Who said humans need to be reproducing? Times have changed and the earth is not fit for new generations in 2024 or ever
I wouldn't catastrophize it so much. I think we need to get back to basics. Greed is evil. We don't NEED to live like this, especially if it involves sacrificing the planet! We are so spoiled that you never hear any of these people say we should simply live on less. Put down our TV's and cars and phones and planes and modern medicine live as the earth will allow. All roads point to this is not the way humans can live forever. But until we get our greed in check and stop spoiling ourselves and the planet with technology in pursuit of comfort and excess, this will be a self fulfilling prophecy. Again the obvious solution is we simply go without a lot of the modern comforts in favor of our planet and hence our species long term survival.
We are a big giant hot rock hurling through a vavacuum that we don't understand

is nuclear energy the way forwards if a way could be found to harness energy released in nuclear "waste"? i understand that there is an initial carbon imprint in the construction of a power plant and also in the decommission there remains a huge amount of land that cant be used. therefore if there is a way to innovate the use of nuclear waste surely this could be a better option as it is relatively clean when compared to oil and coal?
We can use nuclear waste to make energy. Basically free enegy
CO2 doesn't matter. "carbon footprint" is a scam as much as green energy. A doubling of CO2 would be a net benefit to both the planet and humans. Yes fast reactors in a closed fuel cycle can currently burn spent waste from older reactors.

They are not getting the benefits, the unions, the return to their infrastructure - which some might consider exploitive - and that's why they are clamoring for more energy - because they are so impoverished, overpopulated, and forced into subscribing to our energy and business models to survive - to be competitive.

Yes, GM killed the electric auto though those who were leasing them wanted to buy them, but GM falsely said no one was interested. Though GM started to get back in the game, they're quitting again because of weak sales. The real issue is that technology is rapidly advancing, such that the newer electric cars have greater distance capability. Sweden is building an electric highway system so electrics can charge while driving, thus needing less batteries, decreasing the car's overall weight. New electrics with older tech, don't sell!

@@evilovesperry it's both you fool. Why do you think they need all that energy? To power their concerts, to make their garbage, etc.
Yes, this new generation is the most wasteful by far. Don't go acting as if they aren't because they throw away perfectly good stuff, buy more clothes then they need, and buy garbage for the sake of it.
This is such a biased outlook on the big picture. We are all part of the problem! Blaming a set of individuals who have lived a less amount of time on the earth than previous generations is borderline ignorant. Regardless of the amount of consumption at the present moment, previous generations will always have consumed more of the earths resources, new generations just add to the problem. Yes it’s a battle for renewable resources and cutting down on our global footprint, but the main issue is our growth as a global population and not having enough resources to fill that need. If you think people born after 1996 who are just now 25 and settling into adulthood are the main contributors to our global crisis, and not the countless generations beforehand, then i don’t know what to tell you man, it’s just shifting the blame on the new guy. That’s the type of attitude that stagnates our progress to solving this. It’s their future too man, they inherit this.

Watching those 500 year old Joshua trees get pulverized in the name of "green energy" was more than angering, it was painful, heartbreaking. (While watching this movie I was reminded of the somewhat recent moves by the Sierra Club to label John Muir - who did so much to save the redwood forests - a white supremacist. This together with its support of burning "wood chips" (forests) in the name of saving the environment shows the true colors of the Sierra Club.). My eyes were opened to a lot of things I didn't know as well, although none of it was surprising.
@@betsyj59 I've kept my messenger notifications from Sierra Club active post documentary... and each time one comes through it reminds me of their hypocrisy.
@@betsyj59 I hundred percent agree with your feelings on the killing of the ancient Joshua trees! That was just gruesome and enraging.
The capitalistic mind loves to classify deserts (and swamps) as "wastelands" so they can exploited and abused in a whole variety of ways (nuke tests, military exercises, uranium mines, off-road vehicles, garbage dumps, toxic waste and radioactive waste dumps and so on...).
Even the ancient forests that I, and Muir, love(d) so much were up until very recently (and some still see them this way amazingly) were
considered by many to be biological deserts (see a slam on both the forests and the deserts) and cellulose cemeteries and were considered wasteful.
It was considered morally right and even morally imperative to cut these forests down and replace them with spindly overstocked monoculture tree farms/plantations where the trees would never be allowed to reach anywhere near their maximum ages and therefore would never be able to provide the ecologically stability and resilience that ancients forests do. Their impacts on carbon cycling and water cycling and quality and biodiversity, much more manageable forest fires and so on... are incredibly beneficial to life as we know it.
