What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake then for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognise the truth at all.

There’s a persistent myth that new solar farms don’t really help tackle climate change because panels are “made with coal” and “never pay back” their carbon debt.
This is simply false.
- UN: solar ~8x cleaner than gas, ~19x than coal per kWh
- panels repay CO2 in 4 months; save 57x over life
