The challenge of veracity in time of change
We live in an age where misinformation propagates with an alarming speed, both by accident and by intent. The current energy transition to electrification is a hot topic, and the voices that seek to destabilize this reality are increasingly bold.
An inevitable change
The need to abandon fossil fuels is more than obvious; Its combustion is one of the most destructive factors for the environment. Research indicates that the solution lies in the use of renewable energy, which can significantly reduce the negative impact of climate change. The long -term goal is to achieve almost total dependence on electricity by 2050.
A path full of obstacles
However, the path to this electrification is not straight or easy. Currently oil, gas and coal represent 75% of global primary energy, leaving only 25% for electricity. This transition takes time, and the established interests are often opposed to quick change.
A fire that reveals more than it seems
Recently, a tragic incident in Alcorcón highlighted the need for careful information. The death of two firefighters in a fire was initially attributed to the explosion of an electric vehicle, an assumption that was quickly spread by various means.
The real cause of the fire
However, later investigation revealed that the fire was caused by a collision between a luxury hybrid vehicle and a combustion model. This accident triggered a fire in the gasoline vehicle, showing that the initial information was incorrect and that electric vehicles were not guilty.
Safety in the spotlight
Statistics indicate that hybrid vehicles are more likely to fire than electricity, and that combustion ones occupy an intermediate place. It is crucial that emergency services are ready to deal with these incidents with appropriate protocols, especially in car parks where the lack of smoke detectors can be deadly.
A safer future
Security must be a priority in our society, and it is imperative that new systems for fire detection and control be developed. At the same time, it is essential to combat the misinformation that public perception can alter and jeopardize the lives of people.
