Amazing video by Technology Connections. It’s a long one, but don’t miss his 30 minute angry rant at the end.
EDIT: Okay so I watched the video and here’s a tl;dw which by necessity will lack a lot of detail and nuance. The video is in two parts.
The first part, an hour long, is about the slam dunk viability of solar panels as an energy source. In general, but most particularly in comparison to fossil fuel. The presenter underscores the real, deeper meaning of renewable energy sources and addresses many arguments made against solar power especially when it comes to scaling it up and in regards to its ecological impact. ngl, it’s pretty jaw dropping, even if I already knew most of this.
I was increasingly frustrated in the first part because I wanted to shout Do You Get Why This Is Not Happening? Do You Get Why This Renewable Energy Future Is Not Happening. So I was relieved to see that he does get it.
The second part, about 30 minutes long, comes after a quick faux end credits. In this portion, he “goes there” and lays out not only why we are not moving into this future we could have, that is already here for us to have (to wit, money interests) but broadens into a reflection and indictment about the overall situation currently in the U.S.A. While dipping into partisan politics, he elucidates his personal operating principle and shows how it is a throughline into that topic. He did it in a way that pulled no punches while remaining, at least IMO, respectful
First hour: Developing a detailed intuition for exactly how solar and wind energy work and what makes them so much better than oil (without mentioning climate change or pollution)
Last 30 min: Establishing a baseline moral framework that everyone can get behind, and explaining that under this framework a revolution against the Trump regime would be entirely justified but at a minimum we absolutely must vote against Republicans in the 2026 and 2028 elections.
As someone in the comments put it: he explains solar and then goes nuclear.
Damn, I love his stuff anyway, but this time I’m looking forward to watching it just to see how he incorporates a call for revolution against his government into a video about solar panels, haha
Hahahahaha, funny interwebs person being a sarcastic edge! Such fresh comedic material, I’ve never encountered before
Or maybe for some things, you just shouldn’t… you’re only hurting yourself in the end
There’s a time and place for things, and garnering the wisdom to find the subtleties of that is something you should probably work on
Or continue forth being destructive for the lols and self-gratification, you’re hilarious — truly. Enjoy the dopamine hit while it lasts!
Big edit: sorry @fuckwit_mcbumcrumble … I got whooshed hard. I now see that yes, the tldw is indeed “They’re lying”. I feel a little dumb now, as I thought you meant the youtuber was lying; not that you had (super) summarized the subject. Very concise tldw, technically lol
Guess the video triggered me into also being tired of people lying, and thought you were being disinformative. My bad friend
Anyone willing to share a tl;dw?

Its a very reasonable angry pivot that become even more reasonably angry.
The “not mentioning climate change” is key. He hit people where it hurts for everyone (Democrats and Republicans) - not spending money.
They’re lying.
Who’s lying, and about what?
Gotta watch the video to find out.
Thanks for the detailed and thorough response
What, exactly, did we expect from someone named “fuckwit_mcbumcrumble”…? lol
Well, a little more bum crumble, if I’m being honest
You’re welcome!
