When I saw who the sponsor was, I knew this would not be good.
- In chapter 2, narrator says "the theory is, the more efficient home is, less energy it will use." Its's not theory, it's fact!
- They chose two extreme enviromentalist guys and portrayed them as borderline silly.
- Notice looney music during chapter 2. Clear efforts to magnify above's silliness.
- The narrator tries to connect California's past brown outs with future wind/solar power. No mention of Enron's artificial brown outs. The message i got was that more wind/solar will bring us more brown outs. No mention of using solar to smooth out peak electricity demand. Resiential grid-tie PV advantage not mentioned either.
- Arnold is portrayed as a hypocrite for liking Hummers and talking "green" at the same time.
- Nuclear power bias. Energy needed for mining and enriching Uranium not mentioned. The waste problem not fully explained.
- Producers clearly filmed at Tesla Motors, but no mention about Tesla Roadster or other cheaper battery electric cars. But ofcourse, GM's Volt is shown.
Looks like oil companies are opting for gentler campain to smear/delay clean tech. But big thanks to PBS for disclosing who the sponsor was.
