Gilles Mercier has a similar YT channel called "Our Own Devices", but focus on older technology and inventions. I don't think he ever talks about modern day politics.
 
The funniest thing is this guy's very much into Elon's fetishes too, EV's and solar, but still hates him.
 
You can hear the pain in his voice to be forced to admit that starlink is the only viable solution for rural networks.
that's absolutely not what he's saying, he's pretending that rural mountain areas can get Internet through fucking phone towers if only ATT bothered to build a trillion of them everywhere, but evil capitalism had to wait forever until an ultra-evil ultra-capitalist did starlink.

He's too retarded to understand logistics, he think radio signals are good enough if you just spam towers.

He's like those autistic city skylines or hearts of iron players who sandbox their perfect little commune or country with their own perfect rules, solar panels and roundabouts and how they defeat evil and fascism, because it's easy to just right click it into place.
 
Sorry this is so late but just realized he had a thread today.
This is also just faeries and sunshine levels of understanding about lithium and other rare earth minerals necessary for the batteries. 1. Not all those minerals are recyclable 2. Lithium isn't infinitely recyclable each time we do it there is loss and were are basically as good at doing it as we are ever going to be. Then there are the panels themselves that use rare earth minerals as well. Some recyclable some not, none of which are infinitely recyclable. So not only are you right about population growth but eventually we would need to dip back into the earth regardless, and eventually if we keep doing so we will run out. People hear the words renewable and think that applies to every aspect of the tech, when it only applies to the source of the energy, which will also burn out but that's an even bigger problem our descendant and their descendants will eventually have to face.
Edit: Stupid homophones

I wish he would just come out of the closet already.
My wife has numerous times including a few minutes ago while I've been browsing the thread said "He gives off gay vibes"

I've been following Alec's content for years and think he's one of the best educational creators on YouTube, but this video definitely went too far for him. The interesting thing is that even he knew it would and basically didn't care. It was the Renee Good nonsense that seemed to break him and he posted about it on his Patreon.

I'm including it here in case anyone hates themselves enough to read this garbage.

There's a lot going on.

Hello everyone,

Long time no post. It has been a rough couple of weeks for a long list of reasons. In the wake of Renee Nicole Good’s murder I decided to change gears and start putting my energy into a script which I hope can break some people out of the trance we appear to be in. That Connextras piece I barfed out a while ago on the logic of renewables and “spend more up front to save money later” is the basis of it, and I want to present a basic, straightforward, snark-free look at the technology of fossil fuels and how that contrasts with solar energy.

It’s probably going to be titled “you are being misled about renewable energy” or something like that and I’m putting the finishing touches on the script. And I will indeed be discussing who is misleading people.

And even people I agree with are being misled. Some folks who genuinely are environmentally minded are being told lies about what materials are in solar panels. They’re being told to ignore the fact that every single gallon of gasoline they’ve ever purchased is gone and focus on the materials inside the battery packs instead. And people are falling for that - yes, battery packs need a lot of material but we don’t set that material on fire and it is a lie by omission to ignore this. The logic has been so solidified in my mind that I never thought it would need to be explained, but apparently it does.

And now our government is lying to us about what our eyes see.

I am working through what in retrospect feels like cowardice on my part. And while I’ve been wearing my small p politics on my sleeve this whole time, too many people in my country don’t even understand what politics are. They conflate it with partisanship and assume all discussions of politics are team sports nonsense that only some folks have to pay attention to. Well whatever members of my audience who might think that way are going to get a matter-of-fact talking to from yours truly.

But that’s going to come after a fake-out ending. An ending designed to give an out to people who might want to share the basic, matter-of-fact explanation of the logic of renewables told through my Midwestern lens and with few embellishments with their family or friends who need to be woken up. Hopefully it is useful.
If I can’t risk my platform in this moment then I will not be able to live with myself.

I hope to have this video complete by the end of the week. Location shots have already taken place and there’s gonna be very little B-roll to shoot. But it’s a long and complex script and I don’t know how long it will take to edit. I am very behind on messages but I will not be trying to clear that backlog until I’ve got this off my chest.
Soon, I will also be letting you know how much money has been donated in 2025 through my surplus policy and where. I will be keeping that up through 2026 and making adjustments when needed.

I know this is a wall of text and it’s not exactly a cheery one. But it’s where I’m at and it’s where I’m going and you deserve to know what I’ve been up to. I can’t imagine very many of you here will be against my plans here but if you are, go ahead and cancel your membership before the next billing cycle.

Take care of each other.

-Alec
 
I wonder how someone who is that environmentally conscious can have so many fucking lamps constantly turned on in the background. It does look cool though. Maybe one day he'll replace it with a green screen lol.
 
I'm pretty sure he's a faggot, I mean he imported the car Nissan made in the 1990s for grannies for fucks sake:

I mean it's funny Mr environment bought a 3 speed carbureted turbo 4 cylinder with only 25-30 MPG and that event single part will need to be flown from fucking Japan, but I guess being cool and quirky beats it.
 
I have a suspicion that his newer uploads have financial backing or are for company interests. He got a taste of money from his detergent joint venture and ad agencies/NGO's see him as EXTREMELY TRUSTED(tm)(r)(c) with a giant autism fanbase and he is very autistic so they can just throw money at him. I believe he has sold out for money or friendship with some NGO political people - he will be announcing a solar panel and battery supplier and installer he trusts(tm)(r)(c) and ask for political donations to some candidate soon. I don't think he's a fag tranny, just a very autistic man. My sperging below.

His take on materials, mining, and all that stuff are completely retarded and surface level based on summary-paragraphs he read somewhere. He needs to stay in his lane (end-user level experience and appliance autism) and STOP touching supply chain, logistics, materials, mining, feasibility, etc. etc. I'd list out all his genuine engineering, lifetime, supply chain etc. infantile positions but just add my conclusion to it: He is like 11th grade science fair poster board on solar panels and batteries level of understanding. "I have proven that solar panels can charge leftover batteries from my dad's drill so solar energy is really good for recycling and the environment because old batteries are free and the solar panel was from my dad's old camping radio which is also free so I can make money charging batteries." Recycling old electrolyte-based non-lead batteries is FUCKING RETARDED and old solar panels can not realistically or economically be refined back into useful raw materials.
 
We have near infinite clean energy in the form of nuclear fission. Available to us right now. Solar sycophants and anti-nuclear schizos are subhuman biomass and barely constitute "people". The 21st century will be regarded as the grossest misallocation of resources ever.
