Planet of the Humans<\/em>, by filmmakers Michael Moore, Jeff Gibbs, and Ozzie Zehner, has been roundly criticized by everyone involved in energy transition, and rightly so, because it\u2019s more than a decade out of date. But it did manage to confuse some people about the true state of energy transition, and misled them into believing that wind and solar are some kind of hoax perpetrated on an unsuspecting public by evil billionaires. Even worse, some opponents of energy transition started using the film for their own purposes.<\/p>\n

But we think everyone\u2014including the filmmakers themselves\u2014rather missed the point of what the film was really about, which isn\u2019t energy transition at all. It\u2019s something else entirely.<\/p>\n

In this episode, we speak with Dutch energy analyst Auke Hoekstra about how the film isn't actually about renewable energy at all by focusing on the entire worldview of the filmmakers. You may have read some critiques of the film already, but we guarantee you haven\u2019t heard this take on it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
