You don't need to read the whole thing. I'll break it down ..they don't like solar because they have too much invested in oil, coal and gas. In other words, they won't make as much money. Greed is always the answer these days.

They wouldn’t cough up enough bribes?
Given my experience in residential solar, they like it for their own homes and are happy to benefit from every government incentive that exists, they just don’t want anyone else to have it.
Very on-brand, as you’d expect.
The article is a partisan hack job. Republicans stopped supporting solar because Trump told them to.
Making excuses for corrupt tools of the fossil fuel industry and blaming the solar construction industry for the failure of the manufacturing sector – which happened in every other industry – seems about what we’d expect from a member of the global oil pedophile club.
At a local level – I see more conservative/ right leaning people in my area with solar on their property than liberal / left leaning people.
It’s interesting that grid independence took longer to catch on in some circles than I figured it would.
>Republicans are not inherently opposed to solar
As if Reagan didn’t tear down solar panels installed on the roof of the White House. Republicans have been anti-renewables for as long as renewables have existed.
