All CleanTechnica articles are actually paid advertisements. I have no problem with advertising but CleanTechnica misleads readers by pretending to post unbiased articles. Very dishonest.
South Korea in Jan of 2024 had only 1 sale of Tesla in the whole country. Please confirm by checking Korean news. Yet this site jabbers about how electric vehicle sales are increasing. It has been shrinking for the past few months. A downtrend.
Fake News.
Any comments with suggestions of improvement or god forbid criticizing TESLA is immediately marked as SPAM! And it is only TESLA - bashing all other EVs seems to be fair game. So if you are looking to feel good about getting a TESLA - great place - but nothing helpful even for TESLA owners.
Read the negative reviews. They are by real users. The positive ones are by shills. You will see the difference.
Numbers and statistics provided are inconsistent and manipulated to match the articles' themes. Articles often contradict themselves, and cross-checking with other sources confirms this is an untrustworthy source. Namely articles about electric vehicle adoption statistics.
CleanTechnica is a corrupt site that only cares about making money from their corporate sponsors, so they will ban anyone from the site who refuses to agree with their POV. They have bots who attack people instantly if they disagree with the narrative that they are pushing. Censorship by sites like CleanTechnica should not be allowed, but their corrupt CEO Zachary Shahan is a corporate shill, so he does it constantly. All this crook Zachary cares about is the money his corporate sponsors pay him, and uses censorship as a tool to silence anyone who pushes back against his lies. Avoid the site like the plague. Although many articles on solar, wind, battery storage and EV's are good, the constant censorship and banning people who disagree with their narrative, makes their site totally dishonest and ruins the experience.
They have a bias towards Tesla, but besides that, they have no clue about lithium pollution, lithium hazard, battery hazard!
If there's a religion around musk messiah it's surely fake news "clean" technica, literally like assiting to a new Church, from the "muskite" preachers who describe themselves as "belivers of musk" to comments that imitate this, saying "what ever musk does is good for us amen"
How can this crap site exist?
The lack of critical thinking in this source's reporting is a perfect example the technocratic zeitgeist of Tesla fanboys everywhere. CleanTechnica's worldview is that anyone who has the audacity to disagree with them is a pawn for big oil, and the comments here indicate as much. It's idiocy. It's misleading. It's dangerous.
This source publishes misleading articles. See below for a small example of how brainwashed this purveyor of questionable information is.
Cleantechnica headline: Fossil Vehicle Sales In Global Freefall Down 4.7% In 2019! Electric Vehicle Sales Continue To Grow CleanTechnica Report (https://cleantechnica.com/2020/01/18/fossil-vehicle-sales-in-global-freefall-down-4-7-in-2019-electric-vehicle-sales-continue-to-grow/) (Jan. 18,2020)
Bloomberg headline: World's Largest Car Market Reports Second Straight Annual Decline
(https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-01-09/china-december-car-sales-fall-3-6-capping-second-annual-drop) (Jan. 9,2020) ("Yet electric-vehicle demand has also sputtered since the government scaled back subsidies last year, leaving consumers assessing whether the higher prices for EVs are worth it. Wholesales of new-energy vehicles, including electric cars, fell 15% last month to 137,000 units, PCA said.")
electrive.com headline: CAM study finds USA and China EV markets in decline (https://www.electrive.com/2020/01/14/cam-study-finds-usa-and-china-ev-markets-in-decline/) (Jan. 14,2020)
If you want biased, false information regarding the marvels of intermittent energy such as solar and wind, that is the Bible. The enemy is anyone daring to criticize the religious belief of environmentalist messiah.
Comments are: censored, erased.
Your opinion is NOT accepted and you will not allowed to comment if you don't agree with them.
By far one of the most ridiculous web magazine. Proof? Writers aren't technicians, not even journalists, just bloggers pretending to be experts and supposedly authoritative. Look at their skills. Seriously! Pics show they censored my comment and then banned me. So far, I wrote the truth, an inconvenient truth about intermittent energy killing people and environmental mafia making propaganda that helped to kill people.
Best place to get info on all things sustainability. Don't believe the negative reviews, read the articles yourself. There are many evil people supporting big oil and giving false negative spin on important topics.
Several times an hour a clean techna article takes over my phone. How do I unsubscribe? I have no idea how I ever subscribed in the first place.
I encourage people to look at their "articles" for yourself. Its laughable. There are a couple other sites that do the same thing and they all quote each other as their fabricated information confirmation to the reader. They even go as far as writing entire "articles" on a single reddit sub comment. This looks very desperate.
Most articles are extremely poorly written and lack any research. They simply provide commentary on other articles. I have personally met one of their "journalist" at an event and I was surprised at that person's complete lack of understanding of business, technology, or energy. They simply followed anything Elon Musk said.
If you go here, you'll read some awful, biased and poorly written article about why Tesla stock is going down. They will blame evil 'short sellers' and make every excuse in the book for why the company isn't performing.
If you try to inject any reason into the comments, you will be promptly banned by the stooge who runs the site. Don't waste your time, this is the zenith safe space for Tesla fanboys and that's about it.
This site reads like a Tesla commercial. Don't waste your time trying to find any real and unbiased info.
The site treats new renewables in the same way that a religious sect treats the supreme Leader. Don't even try to challenge some of the opinions with facts. Your posts will be deleted and you will end up being treated as some type of troll sponsored by big nuclear or coal. It's all a marketing scheme made to support solar and wind power even if science is sometimes contrary to their claims.
I have been a reader of this site for more than a year. Unfortunately in recent months it has become cheaply disguised Tesla propaganda news outlet.
Almost all of the writers and editors on the site are heavily invested in Tesla stock and systematically push the agenda that only Tesla is making good electric cars. Coverage of other interesting electric cars and carmakers is sporadic and often denigrating.
First, credit where it's due: CleanTechnica is, without doubt, one of the best sources of information for anyone interested in sustainable energy and transport and other green issues. There's a never-ending stream of interesting, well-written and generally well-researched articles.
Yet despite all this good stuff, as a reading experience CleanTechnica is hard to stomach. For example, a fair proportion of the articles are peppered with clumsy insults directed against the Republican Party and the Trump administration. Now, granted, it's hard to support a green agenda and not feel highly critical of these bodies. But when a writer interleaves serious information and juvenile comments, their work loses credibility. Similarly, head honcho Zach - such a knowledgeable guy - is perpetually bewildered that there are people too stupid to choose a Tesla. And says so, repeatedly.
Then there's the comments section. Full of knowledgeable posters, it's patrolled by a pack of angry man-babies on permanent red alert, ready to attack anyone who expresses even a moderately contrary opinion. These are inevitably labelled as trolls or FUDsters. The management pitches in by deleting any post that challenges The Message.
In summary, it's one of the best sites out there, but in serious need of some emotional intelligence.
I became aware of CleanTechnica while researching hydrogen energy topics in 2019. Negative articles on Hydrogen power turn out to be one of their specialties. The reporting is laced with flatly false statements layered on repetitive, theatrical, and predictably negative comments on the topic. It is one of the most biased news sources I have ever encountered. The editors here, clearly don't care. The writers often have questionable, non-technical backgrounds, but the topics covered are technical.
Answer: CT is legit company, this doesn't mean it gives reliable or correct infos
Answer: I don't remember that I ever joined up with clean techna. I am completely uninterested in them.
