There's a chance by that point they'll literally be able to blame climate change on green energy. Remember there were people in Florida blaming wind turbines for a hurricane a few years back. It's not like the conservative base looks at facts and data, they believe what they're told and if they get told solar causes Florida to sink they'll believe it.
This feels like corpos laying the groundwork for the next stage of climate denial -- as the signs become undeniable, they'll blame it on anything besides their fossil fuels.
