There's been a lot of uproar over the last few days about a film that Michael Moore

executive produced and Jeff Gibbs directed and Ozzy Zayner produced called Planet of

the Humans was released on Earth Day this year and initially I think some people were excited

about it, you know, a climate movie by Michael Moore sounds like it might interrogate capitalism

or power structures. Instead it winds up targeting the environmental movement and renewable

energy. Now I'm not saying that either or both of those things is not worthy of critique.

But they both are, there are problems in both the big environmental movement and in the

poorly executed, hit job on some undeserving environmental leaders. The film is tough to watch and

not just because of Gibbs's monotone which I feel like you need to hear to appreciate, so

here's a little snippet. So I decided to begin following the Green Energy Movement.

What better place to check out how a renewable energy revolution is coming along than a solar festival

in the Green Mountain State of Vermont, powered by 100% solar energy.

Solar! I was having fun and got a chance to ask about getting solar panels installed.

You can keep adding so maybe every time you get a tax return by another solar panel.

I could deal with it. My big issue here is really the outdated information and the jumping

to unfounded conclusions. I think the newest bit of footage in this film is from 2012 and

when you're dealing with something like renewable energy where the technology and the context

changes rather quickly, you kind of have to keep your information up to date. That's
