Please watch til the end. I guarantee you will not regret it.
(Edit: I know you have heard that line 1000 times, but this, I mean it. I have been thinking the whole day about this video. I deeply respect this youtuber, and well… Just watch it.)
Comments under the video are on another level. Funny, relevant and clever.
If Alec has to speak out like this, shit’s been hitting the fan for far too long. Time for a change.
I especially liked “came for the capacity, stayed for the resistance”.
Why is this Guy’s videos not on peertube?
Would be nice if we could actually watch it.
Alec’s call to action was refreshing amid so many other outlets smoothing over current events.
The first section though… I’m all in on renewable energy and have been for 15 years. What blew me away was how much I internalized the “challenges” to solar. Propaganda is a hell of a drug. Even as aware and informed as I like to think I am, I still managed to drink the wrong Kool-Aid. The numbers in favor of solar were surprising, even for this true believer.
Heat Pump guy get’s “mad as Hell”. I love it.
I think you meant to say dishwasher guy
I discovered him twice, first as
Peoplemover Guy
then
Toaster Guy
My wife and I also called him Technology Connections for a couple of years, as if that was his actual name.
Like how Techmoan is that other guy’s actual name that his wife calls him and he signs on documents
Was about to watch it, then read “Please watch til the end. I guarantee you will not regret it.”
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve been promised that, and regretted it, I’d be a rich man.
It’s not a lie. The last 20 or so minutes are cathartic.
A lot of people promising a lot if I watch till the end. Feels like one of those pranks when all the people who wait till the end then want to trap even more people…
Find the fake ending 30 mins before the end and watch from there. The rest you can skip without feeling guilty.
watch till
You need not stare at a cash drawer.
Nope. The rant at the end was great
Started watching, couldn’t finish.
Then saw the same fn link about 12 times and I really just hate that guy now. It’s like top-40 radio – good poppy songs wayyyy over-played.
Why couldn’t you finish? Didn’t care for the content or something else?
To be fair, the whole video is just over 90 minutes and the most important part is the last 20 or so minutes.
Can someone tl;dw the ending part for me. The whole “watch it to the end” is just a major turn off for me
He goes on a rant, saying out loud what everyone is thinking.
This is unusual for him.
Personally I liked the start of it more, where he clearly and simply explains some basic facts that a lot of people need to understand.
I think the message here is “speak out while you still can”
I made the mistake of watching this before bed the other night. Figured I was just watching a good long deep dive into renewables and specifically solar. Went to bed all fired up, especially because it’s just so out of left field for Alec. Loved it. He just presents his information in such a good way to get a point across.
