A few weeks ago, I wrote a piece on my blog suggesting that the clouds of war were gathering within the United States against its solar industry. I warned that opponents of the industry were gathering together, joining forces and were trying to destroy our industry. I warned that they would fight us everywhere — from the national level, where they would cut funding, to introducing legislation in every state to continue their scorched-earth policy. That piece generated a little. I was labelled a Communist, a Socialist and a Marxist (by people who didn’t seem to have actually read Marx or understood the context of when and about what he was writing. That’s how I developed my addiction to coffee, by the way, reading his— but I digress). I was accused of using overblown and alarmist language.
