Bright Green Lies (2021)
Short sighted, overly negative
This was laughably nonsense at points, especially when they said "we've done without electricity for 100s of thousands of years so why do we need it now". Try saying that when you've hurt yourself and youre at the hospital and there's no power for the life support machine! The point of renewables is that while they're not perfect they're better than fossil fuels and once they are in mainstream use their processes and technologies will be refined and improved to make them steadily more sustainable and efficient. Everything ever invented starts in a crude form and gets slowly more refined if people adopt it and renewables are no different! The only real thing worth listening to in this film in my opinion was the notion of ridiculously high levels of consumption which is the fundamental unsustainable aspect of our world and which is driving our problems. I found these documentary makers, although passionate, had an overly negative and defeatist mindset and muddled a number of issues together into one when they needed to beak down and analyse them separately.
