over 30 Content Contributor organizations
and others that debunk misinformation sur-
rounding claims.
Overall, ACORE has found Energy
Fact Check and @EnergyFactCheck to be
extremely valuable resources. Energy Fact
Check has provided key journalists with
the facts needed to write a balanced story
about renewable energy. ACORE has also
reached out to journalists through Letters to
the Editor and Op-eds, pointing to Energy
Fact Check information. Recent efforts have
produced nine editorial pieces in national
and regional publications, and Energy Fact
Check responses to misinformation can be
found in more than thirty publications.
Polls increasingly indicate that a major-
ity of Americans support clean and renew-
able energy, regardless of political affiliation.
Though it does not take credit for the shift in
public sentiment, ACORE feels that Ener-
gy Fact Check and @EnergyFactCheck are
helping provide facts that convey the reality
that renewable energy is a growing and suc-
cessful American industry.
