This 90 minute video does two very important things. The first hour is an easily accessible explainer for Americans (but basically anyone information-poor) about the vital difference between burning oil once for heat and motive power and building renewables that last a generation to provide heat and transport virtually free. It’s tech education made accessible without long words. But then the last 30 minutes after the credits take a powerful swerve I didn’t see coming. https://youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGM?si=RsS8hsZ1P4Mmde19
You are being misled about renewable energy technology.

@christineburns It's a powerful video, well worth watching to the (real) end.

Gives me hope that the USA might just save themselves from their civilisation collapsing.

@christineburns What is that swerve ?
Show threadCassandrichMar 14
@Sobex @christineburns Yeah. If you want us to share with ppl who should hear it, knowing that swerve is important information. No clickbait on fedi please.

@dalias @Sobex @christineburns when you see people link this video like this, it's because the last 30 minutes touches on a lot of topics - but a lot of it is about technology discourse, long-termism, and misinformation.

@dalias @Sobex @christineburns Agreed. A summary:

1:02:41 The reasons I made this video - someone said something to him which revealed he's assuming prior knowledge, so he explains his overall motivation
1:10:16 The reason I am who I am - he'd like humanity to work for better solutions for all of us, collaboratively, not stupid ones (Starlink)
1:16:35 Who the liars are and what we need to do about them - all about the absolute state of US politics, calling out fascism, appeal to vote Dem.

@FionaCraig @Sobex @christineburns Thanks! See, that's what we need to know before sharing a video like this. I've long *suspected* that it's good/right, but the clickbaity title makes it so you can't reliably tell if the messaging is on our side or against it in some way, and I'm not going to boost something like that without either watching it myself (probably not a good use of my time, I don't think I'm the intended audience) or having someone trustworthy spoil the clickbait and tell me what's actually there.

@Sobex @christineburns I will give you a clue about the 30 minutes. The operative word is “misled”. That should be enough.

@christineburns wow, thanks for that - I had originally skipped through and missed the end

@christineburns “you might be one of those people who said they stay out of politics
But politics eventually comes for everyone”

Absolutely true.
