Like others, I found this film very disturbing . . . . until I did some research. The fact that the film was actually made about eight years ago and only released recently matters a lot because the situation has changed in the meantime.
Great strides have been made in solar technology that have made it both more effective and less damaging in terms of raw materials and this technology is still progressing. I’m not well informed on wind power so won’t address this, but the problems with the earlier concept of bio-fuels have been recognized and new possibilities are being considered. Geo thermal technology is also becoming less expensive to develop, though it still has a long way to go to make this a widespread solution. All sorts of building techniques and building designs and materials are also being developed which can help reduce the load on the environment. A combination of all these – and other – approaches will be needed to solve the huge problem humans have created. Fossil fuels will certainly be needed in the meantime, but it makes no sense to increase the load they cause on the environment by expanding their scope.
It is sad that Michael Moore has lent his name to a film that is so full of misleading information.
