I downvoted you because you played victim, not because of your opinion on energy production and ecology. I assume many did the same.

That’s fine in this case, but keep in mind that any article questioning climate change will be downvoted because it does not align with majority of HN views. It goes for other topics as well.
Then you essentially getting a consensus view on the topics. I question how much of an information value, knowing the consensus view, brings to the reader.
It’s good to know the consensus view, sure. But you also want to know the actual situation, even if it’s different.
I don’t feel “victimized” by this, just more realization of what am I getting. I definitely not consider this a news anymore, more of a consensus indicator. As such, it has value.
