When people talk about clean energy, a lot of myths and rumors float around. Let’s set the record straight—because the future is too important to let fake facts win.

❌ Myth 1: “Solar panels don’t work when it’s cloudy.”

☀️ Truth: Solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days—just less than on sunny ones. Think of it like getting sunburned even when it’s overcast. Yep, the rays still get through.

❌ Myth 2: “Wind turbines are super loud and ugly.”

🌬 Truth: Modern turbines are surprisingly quiet—most background city noise is louder. And as for “ugly”? That’s in the eye of the beholder. Many people think they look like giant, futuristic sculptures.

❌ Myth 3: “Clean energy is too expensive.”

💰 Truth: Solar and wind are now some of the cheapest ways to make electricity worldwide. Once you build them, the “fuel” (sun and wind) is free. Fossil fuels, on the other hand, just keep racking up costs.

❌ Myth 4: “One person switching to clean energy doesn’t matter.”

🙅 Truth: Individual actions spark bigger change. When you choose renewables (even through a green power program), you signal demand. Companies, schools, and governments notice—and that’s how movements scale.

❌ Myth 5: “The world can’t run on renewables.”

🌍 Truth: Many countries are already powering huge chunks of their grid with renewables. With better storage (like big batteries) and smarter grids, 100% clean energy is totally possible.

💡 Final Word

Don’t let myths slow us down. Sustainable energy isn’t science fiction—it’s already here, getting cheaper, and growing fast. The real question: will we choose to power up the future, or keep clinging to old, dirty myths?
