Isnt green energy a scam in general?
Not that is is just a scam, but it uses more energy than it will ever produce.
And half the resourses used are not recyclable.

I don't know that we can lump all "green energy" together like that. There is a divide, though, between what might make sense for an individual and what is actually economical.
The reason for that gap is the enormous amount of subsidies going towards green energy.
However, the video makes the counterpoint that there are also lots of unnecessary regulatory costs that make home solar more expensive.

I think if they need subsidies, that shows how inefficient they actually are.

I agree, but that doesn't mean it's a scam at the individual level.

I think it is more the idea that they want to buy into.
Not the actual results.

That's often the case, but there are plenty of scenarios where rooftop solar has a positive ROI.
