this "pro solar" PAC is run by Chris Larsen, a crypto promoting billionaire who cashed out in the dotcom bubble, ran an anti union PAC with Tim "Lizzy Holmes did nothing wrong" Draper and is currently shilling T1 Energy stock—a blatantly fraudulent Chinese Solar Cell dumping scheme

Uh what

Clean Tech has been infested with scammers and fraudsters for years now, so these guys glomming onto contrarian MAGA adjacent rubes in Congress is actually not surprising at all! Did we all forget how Elon Musk got his wealth?

Do we think David has learned his lesson yet or will this be just more lib washing for the "one weird trick to solve climate change" grift that keeps working on rubes over and over again?

David Roberts@volts.wtf

This is a pro-solar PAC that is strategically spending to take out vocal opponents of clean energy. They are racking up quite the record. Their CEO will be on Volts this week.

The truth is that running a successful solar business domiciled in the West requires ruthless execution. No one hypes First Solar, the Canadian company because they focus entirely on ruthless supply chain management efficiency and operating discipline. Boring!!!
