Planet of the Humans

The Healdsburg Peace Project held a Zoom discussion of a movie produced by Michael Moore (he's not in it) called "Planet of the Humans." The film is brutal. You may not want to watch it.

What is new in the film is not surprising. Maintaining our current lifestyle will require huge amounts of energy from fossil fuels. The world is heating up. The consequences of global warming seem likely to be genocidal by 2100. 

So far we have no fix for this. Wind and Sun power require more energy to set up than those sources generate. If we burned every tree in America (the biomass solution) we would generate enough energy for one year. 

As near as I could tell, the best current solution is to change human nature and cut way back on things like electricity. How likely is that? 

We'd better find a workable solution soon if we want to avoid a die-off among our grandchildren.
