"Challenging the Anti-Renewables Agenda: Uncovering Efforts to Block Clean Energy Transition"
TL;DR
Climate-science deniers, right-wing think tanks, and fossil fuel interests are orchestrating a campaign to undermine the clean energy transition, particularly targeting offshore wind and solar projects. Using misinformation and fake experts, they are sowing doubts about renewable energy, such as falsely linking offshore wind farms to whale deaths. These efforts have led to opposition in communities and legal challenges, hindering the development of renewable energy projects. The tactics employed in Ohio against solar projects mirror those used against wind energy, revealing a coordinated effort to stall the transition to clean energy.
