Wind Energy & the Environment
Wind energy works, is increasingly cost-effective, has a net positive environmental impact, and is compatible with most existing land uses. The links below touch on the topic of wind’s environmental benefits and impacts.
Ohio siting board’s poison pill to kill pioneering Lake Erie wind project shows a state in thrall to major energy interests

When it comes to energy in Ohio, there’s always a whiff of wrongdoing in the air. And the smell can almost always be traced to the vicinity of Broad and High streets in Columbus, where various state officials have for decades cared more about serving electricity and coal interests than the citizens of Ohio.
Michael Moore’s new movie production, Planet of the Humans–A critique
By
Michael Totten
One fully expects a Moore movie to be in-your-face contentious, provocative, and highly controversial. That it certainly is, but not in an accurate way, riddled as it is with out-of-date information, biased evidence, and a surfeit of logical fallacies that all combine to undermine the few substantive arguments that are critically important.
My Feedback on the Film “Planet of the Humans”
By
Paul Gipe
Neal Livingston called and asked me to watch the film Planet of the Humans and provide some context on the environmental benefits of renewable energy. Neal’s an award-winning documentary film maker from Nova Scotia. He knows film, but he’s also a doer. He and his partners installed three Enercon wind turbines on his Cape Breton land to practice what he preaches.
Environmentalists demand that Michael Moore’s anti-EV film be retracted

Bradley Berman
On Earth Day, a documentary entitled “Planet of the Humans” appeared on Michael Moore’s YouTube channel. You might expect a film from the acclaimed rabble-rousing film director, who served as executive producer credit, to champion the cause of clean-energy technology and electric vehicles. Instead, the movie characterizes solar and wind as a sell-out to corporate America. And EVs are just a means for power companies to burn more coal.
Michael Moore’s dangerous documentary

Paul Scott
Anyone interested in saving the planet who watched this poor excuse of a film, would come away thinking solar and wind energy were bad, and electric cars were horrible. I’m not kidding.
Distributor pulls Michael Moore’s (@MMFlint’s) #PlanetOfTheHumans due to truthiness & errors
By
Adam Siegal
Gibbs’ and Moore’s truthiness and falsehood-filled product isn’t helpful because they created something that is being leveraged by climate deniers/delayers to attack (not complete, need to improve, are improving) solution paths.
