I think what you're seeing is the criticism from those in the older generartions who are well-published and media savvy with decades more experience than average in that regard. Some of the old-timers can be expected to be better connected when it comes to available incentives too.

Not unlike anybody else who gets more attention from pointing out any possible controversy rather than more mundane non-critical analysis.

But not so much in the prevailing common sense of the actual baby boomers who for the most part are older and more ambivalent about these energy technology milestones and take them in stride pretty easily along with all the other progress over the decades they have seen.

I am with far more people over 70 all the time who wish they could afford a Tesla or some extensive solar panels than those who have negative feelings about it.

But you've also got negative "influencers" in older generations trying to appeal specifically to those who lived through similar (outdated or nearly forgotten) experiences, especially when the target demographic is known to be one that votes more often than average.

Looks to me like it's even more selected younger voices among those who stand to gain so much more over an upcoming lifetime without any upset from alternative energy that are doing more actual complaining. Like the incentive coming from somewhere is overwhelming, I can't deny.
