    Thank you, it’s very valuable to correct that misinformation.

    It seems like an easy mistake to make as the original post being replied to is framing it explicitly in terms of economics.

    It’s just a bit of shitshow of weird communication. How hard would a tweet like “A problem with solar panels is that they produce too much electricity during the middle of the day, putting strain on the grid and requiring increased power consumption”.

    That’s not as sensationalist but I’m also not a headline writer. It just seems like this shitty piece of journalistic malpractice was made to stir up outrage
