Amazing video by Technology Connections. It's a long one, but don't miss his 30 minute angry rant at the end.

First hour: Developing a detailed intuition for exactly how solar and wind energy work and what makes them so much better than oil (without mentioning climate change or pollution)

Last 30 min: Establishing a baseline moral framework that everyone can get behind, and explaining that under this framework a revolution against the Trump regime would be entirely justified but at a minimum we absolutely must vote against Republicans in the 2026 and 2028 elections.

As someone in the comments put it: he explains solar and then goes nuclear.

Damn, I love his stuff anyway, but this time I'm looking forward to watching it just to see how he incorporates a call for revolution against his government into a video about solar panels, haha

Its a very reasonable angry pivot that become even more reasonably angry.
