Australians are more likely to have solar panels on their rooftop than a pool in their back yard, but many still don’t realise just how common renewable energy is, or how much of the power mix wind and solar already supply, thanks to persistent misinformation campaigns.

A Climate Council study has found that a rise in anti-renewables media reporting and political campaigning – a relatively recent phenomenon in the context of just how long renewable energy has been operating in Australia – is causing people to think the country is much further behind than it is.

The study shows that Australians underestimate the level of popular support for renewables in their country, as well as how far the transition away from fossil fuels has come.

@earthmothering9 Folks are unaware how many electric cars are already on the road. I see them everywhere because I'm familar with (some of) the makes/models but they do look "just like cars" and if you didn't know what to look for, you might think you haven't seen any. #EVs
