I'll say it, that user reguritates rhetoric and talking points that happen to be aligned with a multi-billion lobbying industry, but they're always packaged in social media comment sized appealing package.

Very few on HN actually work in the energy industry and so anything that "sounds about right" gets accepted if the person says it confidently. Unlike anything related to computer languages, where there are people who also know the topic techncially to debate.

It's a case of "those who speak do not know, those who know do not speak" because to do the topic justice would be a longer comment than anyone wants to read, and it cbmuser's ignorant comment is sure to be at the top.
