Local View: Fear, misinformation preventing even a consideration of clean nuclear power | Duluth News Tribune: When filmmaker Michael Moore’s “Planet of the Humans” was released on Earth Day, it angered many environmentalists because it revealed that “renewables” like wind and solar will not be able to stop catastrophic climate change or meet the growing demand for electricity. “Planet of the Humans” was briefly taken down by YouTube due to a copyright issue regarding four seconds of the film that expose the environmental consequences of mining the rare earth metals required by wind and solar. “Planet of the Humans” also showed that highly subsidized, inefficient, intermittent, resource-gobbling solar and wind projects are actually damaging the environment while creating only a tiny percentage of our electricity. Unfortunately, “Planet of the Humans” failed to provide any solutions.
