The Dark Side of Green Energies

This documentary is a definite must-watch in my opinion as it will shatter any remaining illusions you hold about so-called "green" tech. So remove your green-tinted glasses, set them aside, and strap into your EV for a road of disappointment towards the clean tech industry, where you'll start questioning why these technologies are being so heavily lobbied by governments around the world v/s researching better alternatives.

In a nutshell, here are some of the facts highlighted (that you may or may not be aware of):

• (Electric Vehicles) EVs require LOADS of rare metals. Which are mined in poor, low economy countries (China, Chile, and Bolivia are explored here).

• While EU countries and other Western nations live in their "clean and green energy" bubble, blissfully ignoring what's happening elsewhere because of it, countries like China, Chile, and Bolivia are bearing the brunt of it but still continue as it's a chance for them to increase their GDP, etc.

• Besides EVs, other "clean" tech like wind turbines and solar panels aren't exactly feasible for the long term either.

"The Dark Side of Green Energies" is a Documentary in which we watch how climate change affects people and how green energies becoming so popular nowadays. One of them is the electric car which does not have any greenhouse gas emission but there are other problems with it.

I found this documentary very interesting since it presented very well the reality behind the mining of some elements such as cobalt and how problematic this is. People tend to observe and mainly focus on the tree without noticing the whole forest regarding climate change and the electric car as a solution of it. They have to read and do their own research on this very serious subject that affects all of us. The direction which was made by both Jean-Louis Perez and Guillaume Pitron was very good and they presented very well the whole problem but also the truth behind the so called green energies. To sum up, I have to say that "The Dark Side of Green Energies" is a very interesting documentary and I highly recommend everyone to watch it. Some other equally good and interesting documentaries to watch are: "Seaspiracy" of 2021 and "Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret" of 2014.
