Experts agree that the route to a clean, sustainable environment leads through electric power. Though when it comes to deciding exactly how the green transition is going to happen, opinions diverge. The way in which we will obtain abundant, affordable electric energy to power the gigantic needs of the transition will make the difference between success and failure, which will translate in an unsustainable future for the planet and life on earth - at least human life.
Misleading and false information becomes a danger when it has the aim of deliberately deceiving or influencing people and is distributed in a systematic manner. This is known as disinformation. However, it is not easy to identify targeted disinformation as such: Sometimes things are completely made up, sometimes they are deliberately taken out of context, exaggerated or essential information is omitted, creating a false impression - not only by text but also in manipulated pictures or videos (deep fakes).
