If you look deeply into it, it would not surprise me to learn that some kind of natural gas industry group bankrolls these activists.

Of course maybe I’m overthinking it and assuming a conspiracy where stupidity is a simpler explanation. There were climate activists protesting wind farms in Germany.

People will protest literally any use of land at all. They imagine the current conditions are pristine perfection, "unspoiled", and see any human activity upon it as something to be opposed to.

Solar companies fund the initiative, so it being funded or by whom is irrelevant. Everyone involved is motivated by self interest.
