Hilarious Anti-Solar Energy Advertisement

So yes, this video is obviously satire, but the group being satirized–Southern California Edison–is not, nor is its level of crazy. So incensed by the video Edison demanded that it be taken down immediately, saying:

“Specifically, the video, entitled Edison Hates Rooftop Solar, misrepresents itself as an Edison video and claims that Edison wants to “keep solar panels” off customers’ roofs through a “business plan” to “force” customers to buy “dirty energy” from “dirty power plants” that “poison poor communities.” The video claims that Edison is “spending big on Latino politicians” to make installing solar panels on customers’ roofs more expensive and discourage customers from installing solar panels.”

Suffice it to say that since you can watch the video now, no one has listened. Keep on keepin’ on, corporate dissenters.
