"We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we know that it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power and it was believed that they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun."

- jaredklewis 3y agoI love everything about The Matrix, except that the core premise makes no sense. Humans are not an energy source; at best we (very inefficiently) transform energy from one form to another. If we “scorched the sky,” humans would be at least as screwed as the robots, unless we’re getting all our energy (and tons more since we’d have to move all agriculture indoors) from nuclear or such, but in that case, what on earth would the robots need us for? Wouldn’t they just start running nuclear plants? Seems a lot simpler than running the matrix. Feels like such a sloppy plot hole for an otherwise brilliantly entertaining film.
