Michael Moore presents "Planet of the Humans," directed by Jeff Gibbs:
A scathing critique on the hypocrisy of green energy. Coming from Michael Moore is a strong statement, and it made me wonder why Michael Moore would turn against it. And it is very revealing of how a good idea could become the eye candy wrapper for a worldwide movement to co-opt it and replace it with the destruction of our forests and deserts in its name. The profits made are huge, and the profits it generates fund the marketing and propaganda that allows well-meaning people like college students to bless green energy without really knowing the abomination it has become. With environmental organizations like the Sierra Club supporting supposedly "green" initiatives, the green light for biomass has been given. Yet what feeds biomass is "wood chips," a euphemism for trees, and what's needed to turn trees into wood chips are fossil fuels.
In the end, green energy has become anything but green, and worse.
Long ago, I was to learn that Patrick Moore, a founder of Greenpeace, has turned his back on Greenpeace. And now I know. It has become, along with Sierra Club, a tool for the venture capitalists and the elitists to milk the naivete of the well-meaning public, to sanction their scheme of destroying further our earth in the name of profits. In doing so, they have to destroy fossil fuels and CO2, in order to make themselves the supposed saviors of our planet.
But this how the elites work. They corrupt whatever that is good in us, embodied in institutions such as the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, and the American Civil Liberties Union, and turn the good into their tools for destroying the decency that we have in society.
Michael Moore, in this documentary, shows us how we aren't the evil people in supporting Donald Trump. In his way, Michael Moore is making a 180-degree turn of his support of a hypocritical key policy of the liberal center-left. It's nice to see a Democrat of the progressive left help Donald Trump in the right way.
