When Al Gore came on the scene advocating green energy, that was the first sign to question the agenda...

Using more carbon to reduce carbon is a bit of a joke !!!

If they built a power plant that ran on manure in Washington DC it would never run out of fuel !

I’m am no Michael Moore fan, but I’ll give him credit for this film.

The only place you can get actual news about America is Australia

It seems the Australian media actually do their job rather than push an agenda.

The bigger problem with the Green Energy movement is that it has distracted us from dealing with real environmental concerns that don't require destroying capitalism in the process. Problems like cleaning up the ocean, remediating the drought in California, upgrading municipal sewer systems, reducing our use of non-biodegradable plastics, and getting lead of our municipal water supplies. All of these could have been fixed for a fraction of what was uselessly spent on Green Energy incentives to funnel money to political cronies.

The only green in green energy is the money that's coming from people's pockets convincing them that there actually are free lunches

People need to be held accountable for their LIES!

It’s the same thing for the pharmaceuticals industry. Wherever they smelled money or the opportunity of money, come the lies and the taxes! 🙄

Big Cheers for Michael Moore-Whistle blower of the decade. He called them out, that's the type of News Reporting we need. Thank You Michael Moore!

I don't really like M Moore , but good on him for exposing this sham .

Greta Thunberg is going to be pissed at Michael Moore about this. "How dare you!"

"The only thing green about renewable energy is the money it makes!"

One word of truth. Every day lie after lie is being revealed.

Sky News Australia is the only news source that reports the facts about what is happening in the United States. Thanks, guys and gals...We need you !

Like Rosa Koire says, the green movement is a watermelon: Green on the outside, red on the inside.

"SAVE THE PLANET!!!" cuts down entire forest, covers mountainsides, and open plains with panels.

Call it what it is…’Greed’ Energy.

I have renewed faith in humanity now because if Michael Moore can shine light on this green energy myth I can't wait to see who or what he exposes next.

Quit calling it “green energy” and call it what it is “MONEY ENERGY”

Pretty much the whole world runs on lies.

It was amusing when Electric Car activists were glowing over energy savings and then were told that to manufacture the batteries to power the cars the Chinese were using coal-fired plants and in the end the carbon footprint was LARGER for the production of EC vehicles than combustion-engine vehicles for the first 10 years of operation!

Moore is still solidly on the left. The last word we heard was blaming Capitalism, but forcing people to subsidize an industry, at the expense of successful industries, is not capitalism, it is corporatism.

Imagine a right wing capitalist like me agreeing with Michael Moore!

This reminds me of the whole recycling phenomenon. It sounds great until you look at the unintended effects of doing it. We need access to quality products that last, vs throw away items from China.

simple math. Here in mich each windmill costs 1mill. it powers 67 homes. Life span 20 years. it would take hundreds of years to see a return. Feel good politics that fleeces the people and enriches the already rich.

It's time that this video was widely distributed. Anyone who missed it two years ago needs to begin to inform themselves.

*I'm from Texas and we learned green energy will leave us literally out in the cold during the "Arctic Blast" this winter. A week with no power and no water.*

as Gomer Pyle has said many times, "surprise, surprise, surprise !!!

We have already had it for decades, nuclear energy. It’s the safest, cleanest and most economical energy we have. And that’s no joke.

Why on earth would we have to bury the components in the desert when they are made of recyclable materials?

Even though you posted this 11 months ago, I think it needs to come back out.

I first saw a failed wind farm in 1983 when I travelled around California. Our guide told us that it was to be removed however it was going to be very expensive and nobody was putting their hand up to do the job.

I was always taught in geology classes that we are almost out of fossil fuels and that’s why we have to switch to solar and turbines. To put solar panels on my roof was going to cost almost as much as our house. We simply can’t afford it. Thank you for honest news. Too bad we can’t find any truthful information in the USA. 😬

Something I learned in this movie, when you run on solar/wind you have to have coal or natural gas running on standby to compensate for any shortages or else you will be without power when clouds roll in or the wind dies.

ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MONEY

The ABC are yet to show or even talk about this film.

I'm not entirely opposed to wind or solar power, but the near religious worship of them by eco-warriors is ridiculous.

Sky News should play the movie/documentary for all to see.

I hardly agree with Michael Moore on anything, I'm shocked he is exposing this stuff but credit where credit is due.

I actually have respect for Mike. A man that can change his way of thinking through research.

I was an electrical engineer for over forty years. I have primarily worked on the design and construction of power plants. Several nuclear, natural gas, coal, solar, and wind plants. There is no solar or wind technologies today that can replace the existing power plants. It's a lie. It's marketing BS.

I have to watch sky news to get the truth in America.

Finally they are being exposed. Thank you Michael Moore. I pray your message is heard.

The French have been way ahead for decades. They generate up to 85% of their energy by safe clean nuclear energy, no accidents.

John Kerry - “ I don’t own a private jet , my wife owns it “ . A Perfect Example Of Green Hypocrisy .

Green energy is a joke, but I guess people have to learn the hard way.

“The planet ain’t going anywhere.....We are....” C. Carling.

Well done Michael. England has been a victim of this big con for too long..the coasts are surrounded with wind farms and fields are filling up with solar panels. Fear this is an expose too late for this groaning planet. We met in Hyde Park years ago. Could of and should have given you a hug then.

I'm glad to see a few media people speaking out on this! I'm particularly happy to see Mr. Moore doing this Doco on it too!! I live and work in the Canadian "Oil Patch" and everything said in this report about "Renewables" is absolutely TRUE! I've seen mostly wind turbines in my area and it isn't just about the carbon footprint they leave, it's also very damaging to migratory birds! That alone upsets the balance of nature never mind the constant bombardment of those oscillating blades!!

Electric cars have a life span, dependent on the batteries life span.

Knowing this and he's still a raging leftist.

I hated Michael Moore until now. Maybe he’s turning a new leaf. That’s renewable right? Lol...

First decent thing he's ever done.

When you cover your roof with solar panels, what happens when you need a new roof?

When the wind don't blow and the sun don't glow you're sitting the dark bro.

May God Bless you Dear people @ Sky News Australia! Much Love from the U.S.A.!

Well maybe the whole event is ran by people who ate toast for breakfast made by the toaster that all those solar panels could run. No need to jump to conclusions...lol

Odd that the clouds were moving to the left but the wind turbine is facing the wrong way and spinning?!?

THE ONE WHO IS REALLY DESTROYING THE PLANT IS THE GREEN PEOPLE

I've been saying this for years, there is no such thing as "renewable" Recycling? waste of time and money. Here is the thing folks. Back in the day we didn't need plastic because we had glass. Glass for milk, soda, even peanut butter. We took our milk and soda bottles in for return and cleaning to be reused, the jars became storage for all that loose hardware or got reused when canning as well. Yes, I remember those days. It is very unfortunate that in todays world the need for quick and easy has replaced a time tested and proven system.

How much energy does it take to make renewable energy without damaging the environment?

It's the same thing with electric cars....you have to plug them in, and it costs more to make the power to charge these cars via coal burning energy plants, and it makes more pollution to charge them and to mine the minerals to make the batteries as well as the cost to recycle or get rid of the batteries in them when they fail than it does to just produce and burn gasoline and diesel.

“subsidies” That’s it, the one guest said it. It’s subsides that make the entire “green” energy sector work.

I used to work for a company that did remote IT support, and one of those companies was a renewable energy supplier, I remember a conversation with one of their engineers, and when I remarked about cheaper electricity prices, he said nope the wind turbines are more expensive way to make electric and they are running at a loss as they keep breaking down and the cost of maintaining them is more than the revenue they can bring in and more expensive than traditional means of power this was about 6-7 years ago

Australia has the highest quality News going. I Real enjoyed you News Networks.

It amazes me how gullible the politicians are, let alone the people.

Michael Moore was ALL for the green energy! He finally did his homework? Lol

I was approached by a solar company. They gave me a proposal for my house. It went like: "... the following trees would cast a shadow on the panels, therefore we shall put those down..." I never contracted.

Its seems funny that Moore isn't talking on it.

I want to become a solar panel salesman here in Washington because I know the liberals will buy them.

Been arguing this with "know it alls" for the last 5 years.

The windmills around my house in Ontario Canada kills birds everyday geese , hawks , song birds it doesn't matter

It's about time somebody took an honest at this green power. Thank you.

The best thing Michael Moore ever did! Awesome!

Back in the 2000's, I drove through Tehachapi Pass in California and saw hundreds of wind turbines sitting idle, a considerable number missing one or more fan blades and clearly in a derelict state. Wind energy has high startup and maintenance costs.

"Dont underestimate President Trump, for he is smarter than anyone in this room."-- Michael Moore on CNN in a room of like 6 or 7 of them 😆

I don't have solar panels for the environment. I have solar panels to reduce my power bill.....!!!!!!

If a politician is pushing it more than likely it’s not good for the people

Texas is finding this out the hard way

so glad I subscribed to Sky news Australia. please continue to use your platform for truth we need more of it

The reality of wind energy: More co2 is released in producing just the cement used in the foundation of a single wind turbine than that wind turbine can offset in its entire working life. That doesn’t even include mixing the cement, transporting the cement, steel and various components, the manufacture of steel and alloys used, protective coatings, lubrication and maintenance. Roads and grid infrastructure. There’s nothing green about wind farms! You can do the math yourself. 30,000 tons (60 truck loads) of cement is used in a single wind turbine. 1800 lbs of co2 is released into the atmosphere to produce 1 ton of cement. 1800 x 30,000= 54,000,000 lbs of CO2 per Wind Turbine. How is that green? On average 3000 new wind turbines have been installed each year since 2005. 3000 x 54,000,000 lbs/co2 = 162,000,000,000 lbs/co2 increase per year. As of January 2021, the U.S. Wind Turbine Database (USWTDB) contains more than 67,000 turbines. 67,000 x 54,000,000 lbs/co2 = 3,618,000,000,000 lbs/co2. All Wind Turbines only produced around 338 billion kWh in 2020. Now remember we’re told that Americans and their gas guzzling SUV’s are the number 1 source of atmospheric CO2! However, The U.S. transportation sector - which includes cars, trucks, planes, trains, and boats - now emits 1.9 billion tons of CO2 annually. But wait! to add 3000 wind turbines each year, we need a lot of cement! That cement produces 162 billion tons of CO2 each year. Isn’t 162 more than 1.9? Remember, that’s just the cement production! That doesn’t include transportation.... Still think wind energy is green? It’s estimated that 1.17 million birds are killed by wind turbines in the United States each year. Doesn’t that just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Don’t even get me started about how much coal is burned to produce solar panels! It’s not nor ever has been about the environment.

REAL journalism. This form of honest, objective analysis and scrutiny is what has driven civilisation and all of its benefits forward. Thank you sky news Oz.

"A revolution always eats its children" how true is that, has anyone else noticed that there are next to no climate change posts on Twitter these days 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I live in Texas. Every now and then I watch as a well gets tapped and then starts to produce oil. Next to pump is a "burn off" pit. This burns off methane which is everywhere. A usable fuel which isn't used. I'm sure the cost to sell methane in a renewable form of fuel is quite possible.

I’m waiting to see how green energy works out for the airline industry.

I work for a company who take the concrete upto the bases for windmills and those windmills have backup generators nearby for when they aren't working which is ALOT!

Thank you Michael this is the first thing you’ve done for our country in a long time

Mike Moore has surprised me with his honesty in taking this on

News shouldn't be private

It didn't take a documentary to prove it...

The backstabbing is endless now. Survival of the fittest. Like I always say, in the internet age, you must only provide true information and not false information or else if you get caught, good bye.

I have always refused to have solar panels on the roof of my house and will never have them. I’ve always thought they’re a scam, as well as being bloody ugly.

Yes we know this, but in America it has come back to "kick backs". It is a joke. An expensive joke.

Green energy is a product of the fervent wish for free energy. But, unfortunately, anytime emotion is involved over physics as the catalyst for a plan, it fails miserably.

Michael Moore should do a documentary on obesity in America.

I'm in the U.S. and im starting to like sky news and watch it more often 👍💯 they speak truth minus NO crazy leftist spin

This information NEEDS to be transmitted into every home in the world. STOP making these millionaires/billionaires richer.

The giant solar & wind plants are ridiculous!!! Each home needs to have their own wind & solar systems with battery banks to store the energy. I've been off grid over 20 yrs with the same system & it's still producing just fine 🥰
