Wasn’t strong one of rhe major movers of the global warming/carbon offset scam?
Why, yes.
The biggest scam ever perpetrated on the world and still going strong in the UK and wherever else mandated. The rich are getting filthy dirty rich at the expense of the average-joe taxpaying world citizen, especially once the "green agenda" is shoved down their throats via government mandate!!!!!!

Solar manufacturers closing shop in US, production moving overseas
Solar panel manufacturing may be profitable for some countries where skilled labor can be found cheaply, especially as long as governments direct consumers to purchase electricity from such sources, regardless of economics. But, in the United States, solar manufacturing plants are closing and the “green jobs” associated with them are evaporating. One may wonder why, but the economics are clear. Without massive subsidies, these industries cannot survive, and without policies that force these products to be purchased, they can’t survive. European countries (e.g. Spain and Germany) are examples where legislative and regulatory policies required solar energy to be purchased at rates far above the going retail rate.[ix]These countries found that they had to slash subsidies because of high rates and little power production due to low capacity factors of solar plants.
