      My knowledge is insider, but you can go look into it yourself if you’d like.

        Very convenient. You duck requests for evidence very fluidly, like a true propagandist. I imagine your parents must be very proud of your abilities at manipulation.

          You are free to look into solar companies’ finances and talk to those in the industry. Go ahead and do so and come back to tell me what you’ve learned.

            Or, y’know, you could just support your claims instead of tossing out a right wing nutjob-style “do your own research”. Fortunately I’ve been around enough conspiracy theories in my life that they’ve become pretty easy to see through.

              Why would familiarizing yourself with the finances of solar companies be a conspiracy theory, exactly?

                The signs of conspiracy theory are “trust me bro, totally got insider knowledge here” and “go do your own research”.

                These are both convenient evasions performed when someone is lying.

                  “trust me bro”

                  No it is, “go look into a specific thing”. No need to trust me. Just take hold of your own agency and stop depending on others to spoon feed you.

                  Tell me how solar installations are doing. What has happened to the backlog re: panels and connection capacity?

                    Hey, you said you had insider knowledge you are seemingly reluctant to share. That’s a “trust me bro” when only a fool would trust an anonymous person on the internet.

                    Yes, “go look into specific thing” is a re-wording of “go do your own research”. The goal is “find and believe the same bullshit that manipulates me”.

                    Like I said, demand has increased. Supply is following it. This is the intended function of capitalism, for better or for worse. Supply follows demand, because, sadly, personal profit is a powerful psychological motivator.
