Michael Moore discovers the right has been right about green energy from the beginning

Michael Moore stumbles upon the truth about so-called 'green' energy

...

Moore illustrates the bubble in which greenies float.  If he'd had intellectual curiosity, he would have known that electric cars get power from natural gas, oil, or coal (some of which is clean burning and some not), which means they merely displace vehicle emissions from the tailpipe to the power plant.  Electric car batteries, most of which come from China, are also big polluters, as are the Chinese-made solar panels that worry Moore.  Solar panels also shift the pollution, in their case from the power plant to China's manufacturers.

Moore also discovered that alternative energy sources cannot fill the gap if fossil fuels are banned:

Gibbs interviews a scientist who researched corporate renewables programs who said, "I haven't found a single entity anywhere in the world running on 100% solar and wind alone." The film shows a forest being cut down to build an Apple solar farm.

The documentary does a good job at proving that conservatives were right to say that green energy is a scam:

But the apocalyptic rhetoric detracts little from the heart of the documentary, which exposes the complicity of climate activists including Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and Sierra Club's Executive Director, in promoting pollution-intensive biomass energies, as well as natural gas.

After Earth Day Founder Denis Hayes claims at a 2015 Earth Day concert that the event was being powered by solar, Gibbs goes behind the stage to find out the truth. "The concert is run by a diesel generation system," the solar vendor said. "That right there could run a toaster," said another vendor.

The film also debunks the claim made by Elon Musk that his "Gigafactory" to make batteries is powered by renewables. In fact, it is hooked up to the electric grid. 

Conservatives have made this point forever, but Michael Moore, the "intellectual" progressive documentary filmmaker, just figured it out.  The man is a moron, not because he's stupid, but because he wears ideologically tinted intellectual blinders.

...

There is more.

If Moore read this blog it would not have taken him years to figure this out.  Alternative energy is at best a poor substitute for fossil fuels.  It is also less reliable, and vulnerable to extreme weather events.
