Are you claiming that solar panels have a positive co2 footprint? This policy change was a massive step to a) boost solar power and b) boost decentralized energy security. Calling this "consumerism" is absolutely moronic.
Wait, are you claiming they don't? (assuming you mean a positive CO₂ footprint means net emission of CO₂).
Solar panels absolutely don't reduce CO₂. They make things worse more slowly, just as electric cars do, but they're still making things worse. They are most certainly not carbon neutral, let alone permanently capturing CO₂. They're an energy multiplier, which is less bad than using the energy without the multiplier, but it isn't a net positive.
Which I think is probably the crux of OPs point.
Edit: WTF, where are OP's messages? They weren't abusive from my memory, they were quite the opposite of climate-crisis-denying. They were perhaps hyperbolic and absolutist, but I from my memory of them there was no reason to remove them.
