1. Moore put up the money and is interviewed in it ... he's not the Director ...

Calling it 'Moore's Documentary' or whatnot is kinda disingenuous, given he's known as a director especially.

2. Moore has been all over the media promoting

this hack job, more than the director/writer, so it is accurate. His failure to engage in even grade school level fact checking is deplorable.

3. No, it's not (accurate). I agree on failure to fact-check but its the directors responsibility (nt)

4. Electric vehicles versus Internal Combustion

I am one of those people who partially agrees with many Greens that burning carbon fossil fuels is a bad thing (I’m also pro-nuclear, but that’s another argument for another time). The fact is the electrics ARE cleaner than their internal combustion counterparts. And i/c vehicles generate a lot of particulate as well as chemical pollution. If guys like Moore wish to ignore the effects of I/c vehicles, he should not only visit the City of Angels, but also smog havens like Pittsburg, Denver (During an inversion) or, if he’s brave, the most glaring example in North America: Mexico City. First-hand experience is a great teacher.

When talking about electric vehicles, let us also not forget electric railroad locomotives. Electric locomotives are a PROVEN, mature technology that has worked for over a century.

5. The people making POTH are just mad that green energy

is becoming profitable and competitive in a capitalist economy. It's the profits they hate. They hate capitalism more than they care about the environment.
