Alec’s call to action was refreshing amid so many other outlets smoothing over current events.
The first section though… I’m all in on renewable energy and have been for 15 years. What blew me away was how much I internalized the “challenges” to solar. Propaganda is a hell of a drug. Even as aware and informed as I like to think I am, I still managed to drink the wrong Kool-Aid. The numbers in favor of solar were surprising, even for this true believer.
Was about to watch it, then read “Please watch til the end. I guarantee you will not regret it.”
If I had a nickle fot every time I’ve been promised that, and regretted it, I’d be a rich man.
I can confirm that Alec does not disappoint in this video.
It’s arguably the best part of the video
To be fair, Technology Connections as a YouTube channel is pretty good.
So I’d guess this video is well done as well, but I haven’t watched it myself yet
It’s well done…. Especially the end. Took me 3 days to get thru it, but the last 20 or so minutes were riveting
Not a fun of drier topics but it was still great.
It’s not a lie. The last 20 or so minutes are cathartic.
This time it’s different and there is a good reason
Watched it earlier, they aren’t joking.
Especially when everyone is so cryptic about it. Instantly kills any desire for it.
It’s worth the wait. He starts with solar, and ends up going nuclear.
Comments under the video are on another level. Funny, relevant and clever.
If Alec has to speak out like this, shit’s been hitting the fan for far too long. Time for a change.
Just subscribed. Hell yeah, we need more content creators to speak up like this. Great content, thanks for sharing.
Been watching since he started, I guarantee his previous content has aged well and is really worth watching today. It’s actually agonizing how slowly we progress technologically unless you’re speaking strictly about microprocessors and touch screens.
microprocessors are kind of the exception, really. but yes we’ve had regression in product quality in exchange for lower prices and even then not so much anymore
Can someone tl;dw the ending part for me. The whole “watch it to the end is just a major turn off for me”
He goes on a rant, saying out loud what everyone is thinking.
This is unusual for him.
Personally I liked the start of it more, where he clearly and simply explains some basic facts that a lot of people need to understand.
I think the message here is “speak out while you still can”
I made the mistake of watching this before bed the other night. Figured I was just watching a good long deep dive into renewables and specifically solar. Went to bed all fired up, especially because it’s just so out of left field for Alec. Loved it. He just presents his information in such a good way to get a point across.
A lot of people promising a lot if I watch till the end. Feels like one of those pranks when all the people who wait till the end then want to trap even more people…
Nope. The rant at the end was great
Find the fake ending 30 mins before the end and watch from there. The rest you can skip without feeling guilty.
No you do.
Because there is important backgroubd information.
You can skip to the end but the same goes for any thriller movie.
Do you skip there as well to the solution?
watch till
You need not stare at a cash drawer.
Started watching, couldn’t finish.
Then saw the same fn link about 12 times and I really just hate that guy now. It’s like top-40 radio – good poppy songs wayyyy over-played.
Why couldn’t you finish? Didn’t care for the content or something else?
To be fair, the whole video is just over 90 minutes and the most important part is the last 20 or so minutes.
Exhaustive.

I discovered him twice, first as
then
My wife and I also called him Technology Connections for a couple of years, as if that was his actual name.
Like how Techmoan is that other guy’s actual name that his wife calls him and he signs on documents
