Perhaps - but I’m skeptical. The people I know who think this way believe it. That nuclear energy is dangerous, that Bitcoin boils the ocean, etc. The truth is out there, but people chose to read and watch sensational and easy to digest information. Doing the work on understanding power markets is way more time consuming than chiming in and pick on an easy villain.
I take comfort from David Deutsch:
“Knowledge is information which, when it is physically embodied in a suitable environment, tends to cause itself to remain so.”
Or voting vs weighing machine from Buffett.
Truth is hard, it takes time, it will instantiate itself, one bit at the time.
