I wouldn't consider this an argument, as you've not said anything with substance. Glad I could entertain you for a few minutes, you should be grateful for that.

I'm glad that you wouldn't consider this an argument after I just refused to argue and simply mocked your delusional, self-aggrandising perspective.

Why pay tax to improve state energy security when you can just improve your own and convince yourself that others should be grateful for your contribution to yourself? 👍

You like to repeat yourself, seems like a defense mechanisms when lacking anything meaningful to say.

It's funny you think people with solar can opt out of taxes or circumvent paying their fair share when it comes to energy infrastructure. On the contrary, you can rest assured local utilities are doing everything they can to disincentivise the use of solar, by reducing purchase rates and tacking on all kinds of extra fees. Try spending more time educating yourself on topics you want to debate, otherwise you run the risk of boring those you're trying to impress.

You seem to like throwing out strawmen like I think people can avoid taxes, which may impress other idiots looking to win something.

I am satisfied mocking the pedestal you've conceived for yourself.

This was one of the funniest comment threads I've read in a while. Thanks for that haha. And seriously the rod up texasauras's butt must have a rod up its butt. Text book whiner who cannot follow the plot of a conversation when it's literally narrated to him.

I copy and pasted all your comments in this thread into chatGPT and asked it to critique you. Lmao

“Overall, these comments are dismissive and sarcastic, and lack constructive engagement with the topic at hand. The commenter seems to be defensive and may not have fully understood the point being made.

Firstly, the initial comment "Not true, in these parts we don't wait for government to do everything for us" seems to be a strawman argument, as the original point being made was not about waiting for the government to do everything, but rather the need for a comprehensive energy infrastructure that provides reliable and sustainable energy for everyone.

The commenter then goes on to brag about their personal use of solar power, while also accusing others of not doing enough. This tone comes off as condescending and unhelpful.

Moreover, the claim that using solar energy frees up power and resources for those who can't is not necessarily true, as the energy infrastructure is not that simple. The commenter is also dismissive of the original point that lack of energy security is a serious issue, and may not be aware of the challenges that come with relying solely on solar power.

The commenter's response to the rebuttal seems to be defensive and unproductive, with more sarcastic remarks and personal attacks. They accuse the other person of lacking education, without actually engaging with the substance of the rebuttal.

Lastly, the commenter's claim that local utilities are disincentivizing the use of solar by reducing purchase rates and adding extra fees may have some truth, but it is a very simplistic view of the situation. There are many factors at play, including the need to maintain and upgrade the energy infrastructure, and provide reliable energy for everyone, not just those who can afford solar panels.

In conclusion, the comments lack substance and a constructive engagement with the topic at hand, and instead, are dismissive, sarcastic, and defensive.”
