    No, actually it went heavily to infrastructure to facilitate future technology, things like electric vehicle charging stations and energy grid, along with more mundane stuff like bridge maintenance and replacement. This stimulates demand, which supply naturally follows in the quest for profits-above-all-else.

    Not sure how an industry seeing such demand is projected to fail shortly.

    SVB wasn’t bailed out, it was actually seized. It failed after a bank run following a lot of risky investments into new tech startups, which is a naturally high risk market. It was not due to some sort of failure in the broader solar industry.

      No it went to stock buybacks and capitalization for startups.

            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.
