Category: Misleading
Complete details: A YouTube video composed of clips of interviews where President-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr detailed his plan to shift from coal as a primary energy source and shift to cleaner sources. He also mentioned the fact that nuclear energy is an option.
Why we fact-check this: the post purports to inform the viewers that renewable energy will solve the current oil crisis, but it is not so. Renewables will address the energy needs of the country, but not the high fuel prices.
