Yeah.
I thought I would break down this guys speech and bookmark it at some of its more interesting points.
Toxic stuff that goes into Solarpanels and how its going to require a lot of effort and energy to dispose of old solar panels when the day comes.

Problems with a solar farm environment dust on panels etc, solar panels degrade at around 1% per year. Frequent replacement of large inverters during a solar panel array lifetime.

Solar power lifetime comparison of energy produced vs its total greenhouse gases saved and (emitted from solar panel production

) vs spending the same amount of money elsewhere on lowering greenhouse gases (like planting trees).

The fact with this is why can't we now point the finger at solar panel manufacture everytime see a global warming temperature increase claim/chart than co2? Especially considering the fact that increase co2 ppm levels past a certain point doesn't increase its greenhouse effect anymore due to the fact co2 only absorbs a certain spectrum of the suns energy. Its like sticking your arm in a bucket of water after a while the bucket can't get any warmer.
Talks about the madness of chopping down trees to erect solar panel array. None of these solar projects of replacing trees with solar panels will offset the co2 debt instead it just makes it worse.

People aren't logical, a client wanted to chop down his trees to put in solar panels when the speaker tried to tell him its fact that he's not helping the world if he wants to remove trees for solar panels the client then fired him.

Never enough energy, instead of practical projects, "alternative-energy temples" are being built, alternative energy (wind/solar) are just really "rebranded fossil fuels". Alternative-energy fetishes.

Media, when oil doubled for every mention of increased oil price the coverage of alternative-energy increased 400% or 4x times.

Always needing more energy for increasing population. If the entire worlds women population were entitled to civil/economic rights who are in control of their own bodies can enjoy the freedom of bearing children at their own rate tends to be a rate that's far more sustainable (Japan).
