It’s amazing what having so much time on our hands can do for alternative media. Glen and Anna Starkey, movie reviewers for the Sun, discovered a hidden YouTube gem with Planet of the Humans (“Bitter pill,” April 30). Now that we are not able to go to the cinema, YouTube is a Pandora’s Box of, ahh, shall we call it “stuff to watch.”
A video with Michael Moore’s imprimatur on it had to be “left good, right bad.” But a repudiation of green energy was a surprise. Everything I had been saying about green energy was right there with one additional important fact. I couldn’t figure out why so many industrial giants finally came on board, and, dear reader, you’ll have to view this documentary for the reasons ExxonMobil loves “green.” And for the most part, you can stop watching after 45 minutes because the real, “globalist message” is yet to come, and it’s the same tired message of: There are too many people on the planet. The theme song that’s been going on since Woodrow Wilson. Margaret Sanger thought that there were just too many of the wrong kind of people. It’s a dangerous path that leads to eugenics and master-race thinking.
However this would be a good time for local governments to think hard about where all the tax dollars are going to come from if they proceed to shut down Diablo Canyon and hammer the oil industry. Listen to your pocketbook and not the people who despise nuclear and fossil fuels. They don’t have enough money to tax.
