You should watch Planet of the Humans.

I have, some good points but very flawed information as well.

We live with a smaller footprint than most and practice what we preach.

I read the population bomb when I was twelve, ride a bike more than I drive, started one of the first curbside recycling programs in my State and the first in my County in the 1980's. I also helped build a number of Community Gardens including one on the land trust I was on the board of for 25 years that helped negotiate funding and purchases of several open space properties.

None of that changes the fact that an electric infrastructure even with it's myriad of challenges is a far better plan for the future than one based on fossil fuels. Hopefully people will live less wastefull, less energy intensive lives but even if they do we will still need electricity.
