This is a silly rant.

Politicians were also responsible for initially subsidizing solar to usher in the current boom.

Corporations invested heavily in solar production to create the cheap panels that are being installed rapidly.

Just because some politicians and corporations do things we don’t like doesn’t make them in general “the biggest enemy of humanity.”

They didn't need to subsidize solar. Just stop fossil fuel subsidies, which are $7 trillion/year and level the playing field.

That number is fake. There's no way to add up to anything within two orders of magnitude without adding extremely specious externalities and permitting rights.
