"Why renewables can’t save the planet" – TEDx Talk by Michael Shellenberger

In the effort to try to allegedly "save the climate, are we destroying the environment?"

I highly recommend watching the following 17:33min TEDx presentation by Michael Shellenberger. It encapsulates his experience of why he did an about face with regard to the allegedly “clean and green” unreliable renewable industry.

This is the description for the video:

Environmentalists have long promoted renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind farms to save the climate. But what about when those technologies destroy the environment?

In this provocative talk, Time Magazine “Hero of the Environment” and energy expert, Michael Shellenberger explains why solar and wind farms require so much land for mining and energy production, and an alternative path to saving both the climate and the natural environment.

Michael Shellenberger is a Time Magazine Hero of the Environment and President of Environmental Progress, a research and policy organization. A lifelong environmentalist, Michael changed his mind about nuclear energy and has helped save enough nuclear reactors to prevent an increase in carbon emissions equivalent to adding more than 10 million cars to the road. He lives in Berkeley, California.
