Outgunned: Five fossil fuel lobbyists spent $553,000 on Meta ads in August, the renewables industry just $3,090

“Clean energy has taken social licence for granted for too long and relied [too much] on NGOs to do [marketing for them],” Quinn told Renew Economy.
“But this is the work. It has an obligation to genuinely engage and partner with communities of big infrastructure.”...
...The lack of voices countering the wash of anti-renewable energy astroturfing, misinformation, disinformation, and general opposition campaigns is a real problem, found the recent parliamentary inquiry into climate and energy misinformation and disinformation.
Yeah, there's real money in renewables now, they need to start coming to the party a bit more against the fossil fuel lobby. But they'd need to be careful about not being losing the moral high ground on the process.

I think maybe we need legislation that you can't outright lie in advertising.
