Chair Whish‑Wilson questions Mr Page on whether factual debunking around offshore wind shifted community views, the role of two recent elections as a test of public concern, and how Facebook campaign pages mixed opposition, genuine engagement and information-seeking. Page explains the perceived information void, lack of trust in government and developers, and outlines his advocacy for local “energy hubs” as trusted sources for complex renewable projects.
