Same thing happens with renewables. Every single article either positive or negative about solar or wind you'll inevitably see the "But the sun doesn't always shine! Nuclear is the only possible solution!" style comments.


It's a pretty natural response to highlight concerns if something is being shoved down your throat.


> shoved down your throat

This nearly always means "mentioned" rather than any kind of coercion. The ICE phaseout is still something like a decade away at the most optimistic in Europe and much, much further away in the US.


Depends on the gripe. My state has the largest housing crisis in the nation, but also requires all new homes to have rooftop solar - forcing implementation of the least economic scale and the the least economic installation type. I certainly empathize with people we feel compelled to point out that solar energy policy isn't all sunshine and roses.
