We started with the topic of the price of wind energy, and now we're into generic political controversy with no steps in-between. Do you see how that takes us from a concrete discussion into tedious flamewar territory?
The guidelines ask us not to do that, and also not to complain about voting.

- tchaffee 9y agoI wasn't complaining about the voting. I'm fine with getting my comments downvoted as long as I can learn why. Without an explanation it might take me a lot time to guess what I did wrong and to improve. Isn't it better for the entire community if I improve my comments quickly? > Do you see how that takes us from a concrete discussion into tedious flamewar territory? If current US politics weren't relevant to the future of renewable energy, then sure. I thought it was a relevant concern. What I wrote isn't a political opinion, it's a fact. I have read the guidelines and I do try to be careful about posting stuff that's purely a political opinion. Thanks for your comment, it was helpful even if I don't agree 100%. At least I now know which of the guidelines you think I was not following.
