As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting informed conversations about climate and energy, we’re pleased to share a series of excellent resources from Carbon Brief that help debunk common myths around solar power, electric vehicles, and heat pumps.
These links come via Jackie and Professor Brian Hoskins, who have kindly recommended them for the PAWS community. Each article offers clear, accessible answers to the most persistent misconceptions, ideal for anyone who wants to better understand the evidence behind key technologies in our transition to a low-carbon future.
🔗 Solar Power
Factcheck: 16 misleading myths about solar
🔗 Electric Vehicles (EVs)
🔗 Heat Pumps
Each page gives a short summary followed by more detailed explanations, making them suitable for both a quick read and a deeper dive.
We’ll also share these on the PAWSG Facebook page, but feel free to circulate them more widely with friends and neighbours. Understanding the facts behind these technologies is vital if we’re to build a more sustainable and resilient community.
Thanks again to Jackie and Brian for the suggestion.
