BRIGHT GREEN LIES dismantles the illusion of green technology in a bold and shocking exposé, revealing the lies and fantastical thinking behind the notion that solar, wind, electric cars, or green consumerism will save the planet. Almost every major environmental organization is pushing for so-called renewable energy. Claims are being made about "green" technologies that are frankly untrue. Words like "clean", "free", "safe", and "sustainable" are often thrown around. But solar panels and wind turbines don't grow on trees. The mass production of these technologies requires increased mining, industrial manufacturing, habitat destruction, massive greenhouse gas emissions, and the creation of toxic waste. So-called renewable energy does not even deliver on its most basic promise of reducing fossil fuel consumption. On a global scale, the energy is stacked on top of what is already being used.

Trust Me: The False Prophet

The question I had going into this was whether it was coming from a right or left perspective. It's the left, but likely the left being financed and co-opted by the right. These are people who are against renewables because they're afraid renewables will hurt the sand. Their view seems to be that wind turbines will kill birds and when it's explained that buildings kill birds, they want to tear down the buildings. There are some interesting ideas raised here. Climate change is certainly a bigger problem then it's usually presented as and we need more than recycling a few plastic bottles. The thing is that human existence doesn't really mean anything if human beings are left to live in teepees and mud huts which is what the documentarians here are proposing.

A must watch for those who wish to better understand how environmentalism has been hijacked by corporations as yet another money making tool that has nothing to do with their claims of sustainability or saving the planet.

This was laughably nonsense at points, especially when they said "we've done without electricity for 100s of thousands of years so why do we need it now". Try saying that when you've hurt yourself and youre at the hospital and there's no power for the life support machine! The point of renewables is that while they're not perfect they're better than fossil fuels and once they are in mainstream use their processes and technologies will be refined and improved to make them steadily more sustainable and efficient. Everything ever invented starts in a crude form and gets slowly more refined if people adopt it and renewables are no different! The only real thing worth listening to in this film in my opinion was the notion of ridiculously high levels of consumption which is the fundamental unsustainable aspect of our world and which is driving our problems. I found these documentary makers, although passionate, had an overly negative and defeatist mindset and muddled a number of issues together into one when they needed to beak down and analyse them separately.

Their views on the deceit that is most renewables options (solar, wind and biomas) is accurate regarding their manufacturing, their carbon foot prints, their consumption of the earths minerals and resources. The point they make is that we are using too much electricity and food generation and consumerism are to blame. On hydro, they are frankly wrong. There are no no-impact electrical energy options. Then it gets into the real point of the documentary. A lot less industrialization, a lot less use of the soil for food, a lot less consumerism. Not a single references to some of the wild facts they state. Basically an Extinction Rebellion type argument. Where it really falls down is in the lack of "real" solutions presented. How to feed the current number of people on earth, no solutions provided. We know that if we massively moved to a plant based diet then the planet would be worse that it is now for example. How to heat homes without electricity, no solutions provided. Employment or should I say unemployment, well lets not go there. Power generation from nuclear, they don't even discuss that option.

"Gosh, I wonder how humans have survived for the past 200,000 years without electricity? Could it be that we really don't need electricity?" says the filmmaker whose filmmaking equipment probably uses electricity. Or, maybe it runs on algae. "Electricity is a convenience, it is a luxury," says the guy with an electric light burning away right next to him during his interview. The film presents some interesting information that the so-called "green" industry (solar power, wind turbines, "biomas") are not as "green" as they purport. I don't doubt this. Industries exist to make money. Also, the "green" industry is going to have a reasonably big carbon footprint in these early stages because it's in its infancy, and the oldschool, polluting industries are the only ones that can mine and fabricate the components. But this is not near good enough for the purists behind this film. From the absurdity that electricity is merely a "convenience" -- tell that to people who underwent life-saving surgery today, keeping our COVID-19 vaccine doses temperature-controlled, or simply working jobs to support their families. The documentary is certainly worth watching. No doubt there is hypocrisy in the green industry, but these filmmakers are pretty stark examples of letting "'perfect' be the enemy of 'good'". They are also caricatures of what most people think of as "environmentalists" -- who get choked up over the birds that are killed each year by wind turbines, cats, and sky scrapers (as it turns out, wind turbines kill the fewest of the three, it turns out -- but still receives heavy scowls and deep disapproval from those who love the earth). People are entitled to their beliefs, but the filmmakers open themselves up to charges of hypocrisy with their rigidness and purity. Electricity cannot be dismissed as merely a "luxury", as something people could probably live without and be happier for it. That is the kind of mind behind this film. I mean, when you tie the solar power industry in with the Holocaust, explaining what a "claim to virtue" is, there is something drastically wrong with your argument. Watching this doc, I learned about the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility, which was fascinating. In the abstract, many of the ideas voiced by the filmmakers are correct. Capitalism is destroying the parts of earth that sustain human life. Technology isn't the answer to every problem. Often, it's the source of the problem, or exacerbates problems that already exist. At one point, one of the filmmakers asks "What does the earth need?" The honest answer is: drastically fewer human beings. Thing is, that's not going to happen.

This movie shines a light into the deep hypocrisy of today's environmentalism. High tech/renewable tech will not do anything but ravage the living planet further. Ask yourself where the materials for the wind turbines, solar panels, solar arrays, hydro damns, trucks to log the forest to make "biomass", etc etc will come from. They come from mining and manufacturing. They come through chemical reactions, and they come from destroying our ecosystem. Tech will not save us. Only a living planet will save us, and we're astoundingly doing our best to kill our home at an ever-increasing pace.

Kass électroNov 5, 2023

For anyone that is not aware of what it takes to produce solar panels and wind turbines this movie is definitely going to be an eye opener. A lot of people will have a hard time listening to the ecocentric argument made here, the first 10 minutes are probably the hardest. But this is to be expected since "radical environmentalists" are among the least understood of all contemporary opposition movements. But as Dr. Seuss wrote: "I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues..." The problem once again is that the environmentalists being interviewed do not pose any workable solutions. All of them are anti-establishment some even revolutionists, these convictions make people hard to take serious. There is also a lot of one-sided portrayal of the facts and framing is the modus operandi. A good documentary should provide the viewer with complete and unbiased information, this documentary does not do so.

What I ultimately took from this film is that all we need to do to heal the planet is to take away modern medicine, stop mass production of food, take away transportation and get rid of the current buildings that people live in, then the planet will heal itself. I am not sure what the alternatives they were trying to convey, other than one person strongly suggesting that the solution is: "I want to bring down civilisation and that will make it so people who are reliant upon modern medicines will die" It seemed to me his justification for this belief was ok because he would be one of those people. While I recognised the basic message they were trying to convey and in some way agree with some of the things the film highlighted. I am not sure that the solution strongly hinted at and in one case blatantly stated will be very popular.
