    He lives in Illinois, the state with over 50% of it’s electricity provided by Nuclear Energy. I really wish people who are all about renewable energy would acknowledge the extremely important role nuclear power should hold even in the future. He mentions nuclear as an aside, but there really should be a wider push amongst environmentalists for emissions free nuclear reactors.

    I normally love this guy’s videos, but this one just didn’t hit for me.

    Now I fully agree with his stance and arguments. But it was just hammering in the same point over and over. I couldn’t get past a half hour.

    And when he brought up fracking gas and using that as electricity source as a good thing when it is still a single use burn and done resource just like he has been arguing against gasoline for… He lost me.

    Still a minor gripe but clearly electric vehicles are better than gas, and laying out the cost for installing solar panels vs gas for the car was eye opening.

      He does bring up that natural gas is still a single use fuel. His argument was that it’s better than oil because it’s domestic, not better than solar and batteries. Also you missed the political call out of you only watched half an hour.
