Please watch til the end. I guarantee you will not regret it.

(Edit: I know you have heard that line 1000 times, but this, I mean it. I have been thinking the whole day about this video. I deeply respect this youtuber, and well… Just watch it.)

    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.

    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.

    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…

      Find the fake ending 30 mins before the end and watch from there. The rest you can skip without feeling guilty.

        No, you shoud.
        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?

    Was about to watch it, then read “Please watch til the end. I guarantee you will not regret it.”

    If I had a nickel for 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, although I find “please watch until the end” universally annoying.

    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.
