Fake news is spread worldwide by politicians, the press and on social media and is usually defined as invented content that is intended to manipulate and influence opinion. Fake news often has a deliberately emotional character and is often difficult to distinguish from real news. Detailed in the wiki: Fake News

Newspapers of the Springer press in Germany headline: “Germany facing the solar debacle”. This is fake news. The energy transition is going much better than the right-wing alarmists from BILD, WELT and others would have us believe. Wind turbines and solar power complement each other well. We have enough power plants to generate enough electricity even during “dark doldrums”. Generating, distributing and using renewable energy from the sun and wind instead of fossil fuels is the energy transition.

The fake news here is “solar debacle”. Link to the topic in German: https://www.volksverpetzer.de/faktencheck/energiewende-luegen-widerlegt/

More fake news: “BATTERIES OF SHAME”, “Germany lost in the solar dead end”, “Germany in the dark doldrums. “We are the ghost drivers of Europe”, “Windmills of shame”, “Trembling before the blackout”.

Here we focus on the fake news against the transformation to sustainability, e.g. the energy transition. How do you debunk fake news? How do you set positive signals instead?

We invited artists from all over the world to submit their proposals. We are showing works that take up the theme and conserve resources in terms of transportation and materials.
