CACOR Live | Dr Giordano Scarciotti | The Renewable Energy Perception Gap

Over the last 15 years, the energy transition has accelerated dramatically across generation, storage, and electric vehicles. However, public perception of renewable energy lags significantly behind these engineering realities. This talk explores the current state of the transition and this resulting “perception gap”, arguing that the disconnect is driven by outdated narratives and recognizable rhetorical tools that manufacture doubt. Ultimately, the session highlights that data alone is not enough to shift public understanding; we must also recognize and educate about these rhetorical tactics to accurately communicate the true trajectory of the energy transition.
