Environmentalists demand that Michael Moore’s anti-EV film be retracted
Electrek ^ | 24 April 2020 | Bradly Berman

In fact, we’re talking about charging these up at night, so there won’t be any solar at that time. So we’re down to wind, and very often at night, the wind does fall off.

GM’s Zimmerman then says:

I don’t think coal is bad. It’s got lovely BTUs. It’s got lovely energy value.

...Similarly, the film explains that the Koch Brothers build the mirrors used in solar panels.

Josh Fox, the director of Gasland, led a campaign to have the film taken down and for Michael Moore to issue an apology:

Lemme see. The Director of the piece is the leader of a movement to get the piece withdrawn and asks Moore to apologize.
I presume this was all AFTER he had been paid in full for directing the piece. I’d tell the clown I’ll consider it after you write me a check for the money you were paid to Direct it.

Kristin Zimmerman has a PhD in Engineering.

Not one of the Global warmunists could go toe to toe with her on “science”.

The Volt scenes with Zimmerman were from 2010, before the Fraking revolution reduced the “tons of CO2” it takes to charge Volt by 50%.

That fact alone proves that its not about “reducing” CO2, its about Destroying the modern world.

the director complaining did not make Michael Moore’s production, “Planet of the Humans”. as the article says, Fox made the anti-fracking docu, “Gasland”.

MM is pretty on point with this one even if he has ulterior motives.

Every one should E-mail a link to the video to their Liberal kid, relative, co-worker, etc. and tell them to watch it, before it disappears.

Tell then You are “sorry” and that “they were right” and it a “Michael Moore expose on the Koch brothers”.

There is so much they left out of this, it could have been a 6 hour multipart miniseries.

They could have gone into detail with all of the Obama era boondoggles and money grabs the taxpayes paid for, the dead birds killed by Wind and solar, the slavery/child labor in the electric motor mines, etc. etc... instead they just flash a 5 second clip and move on.

I’m afraid it will go down the memory hole and nobody from the MSM will examine any of the claims in detail... so it never happened.

Most solar panels that I know of don’t use mirrors, and any that did wouldn’t do very well trying to collect sunlight to turn it into electricity.

Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear/Grand Tour refers to EVs as coal-burning cars.

“But prominent environmentalist Bill McKibben, who was criticized in the film, issued this response to the movie:

I am used to ceaseless harassment and attack from the fossil fuel industry, and I’ve done my best to ignore a lifetime of death threats from right-wing extremists”

He’s lying. Fake hate crime. Prove it Jussie.

The Left’s actions take advantage of the shutdown’s ability to keep feet off the sidewalks that bring consequences to their totalitarian policies. Shutting down speech that contradicts their false doctrine should have big consequences. But, no consequences for them—now.

“I stand with the fat socialist today.”

So the enemy of my enemy is my...

NO!
An exception to every rule?

All generalizations are false, including this one?

A blind squirrel is nothing like a fat slob socialist.

And that would only be an introduction.

Many mirrors are used on the large high temperature solar plants.
The molten salt tends to eat the pipe, I wonder why?

Like this one:

A solar thermal plant in Nevada is the latest in the long list of Obama administration energy failures. The Crescent Dunes solar facility remains on the hook to repay $737 million in loan guarantees from the federal government, according to Bloomberg. Unlike solar facilities in Minnesota, which use photovoltaic (PV) panels to turn sunlight into electricity, the Crescent Dunes plant used an array of mirrors to heat a tank filled with molten salt that would then heat water to generate steam and electricity.

If anyone should apologize it would be this POS for his debunked propaganda "documentary". Can't believe he would show his face in public.

Actually those are called “mirrors”. Solar panels are different.
