yeh, I work in clean energy, and I'm all about it, which is why casual conflations or assumed relationships like this are irking, because all it does it add to the pile of things parties that still want to reject climate change get to point to show how many arguments are lacking in substance, this being one of them.
I guess its true just about as much as any other correlation can be made with anyone who purchases anything. The more valid and underlying issue I thought would be focused on here is the baby boomers who have paid off their houses, have nice pensions waiting for them and refuse to retire after living 30+ years at the same job, while our generation has to re-educate ourselves 3-4 times over throughout our lifetimes (the first time in college being 500% more calibrated for inflation than baby boomers paid to go to college, many of who didnt need to go to get a good job) and change jobs every 7 years to stay relevant, relocate to follow our industries and/or navigate around jobs where we find out there is not career progress for the next 15 years because our superiors won't retire, or require a large amount of effort to navigate around their information hoarding habits to maintain job security.
This along with the fact that as our generation is laden with college debt and switching jobs to stay relevant, the few who can manage to pay off loans, afford to live in nice cities where the good jobs are and set aside money for buying a home, are competing with baby boomers for starter homes as baby boomers downsize after kids graduate from college, so now many jobs, even most engineering jobs outside of software have us held back from higher positions and catalyzing change due to baby boomers, and their cash offers make it impossible for promising young couples or individuals to mortage houses.
The icing on top of the cake is the passive comments I hear from baby boomers about how we are narcissistic and lazy.
