Depends who you ask. If it's a scientist or apolitical/centrist person, the opinion will likely be "real". If it's a raging Right-winger like much of the HC userbase, you'll likely get a spittle-flecked "fraud!!!"
More to the point though - you only have to look at the growth in the renewable energy sector's market cap (as well as lithium/cobalt miners) over the last little while to see what the market at large thinks.
