Comment on Clean energy, dirty secrets: Inside the corruption plaguing california’s solar market

  It’s not whataboutism. It’s getting the priorities straight and not getting distracted by false problems.

  The article posted facts and supported findings. These are not “false problems” and are posted for information and discussion, not as a distraction.

  What is raised in the article is not specific to renewables. It’s pretty much generalized as soon as you have private interests.

  The article is specifically about issues pertaining to the industry producing and selling renewables in California, USA. I have no private issues other than the sharing of information and constructive discussions about it. A share is not necessarily an endorsement and will not be received equally by all viewers though we should be able to engage in discussions without making assumptions about other users or unnecesarily pointing fingers.

  So isolating renewables is improper and demagogic.

  The focus of this community is green energy and there will be posts that focus on renewables. This post is on topic and posts from others are allowed are always welcome, provided no false information is shared and discussions don’t get combative.

    Wow. So many empty words. So little time. You use exactly the same fallacies as O&G PR people. So either you are one of them, or you are a useful idiot.

    In any case, sharing an article without any comment is an endorsement by default.

    And the articles does isolate renewables, as if none of these problems occurred in any other industry. If it is shared by other industries, then it’s a social problem, not a renewables problem and the article is therefore de facto biaised.
