I imagine the reason to cherry pick a single bad thing is because the list of all of them would be too long to be of practical use.

On the other hand, I agree that the person you're responding to didn't make a strong argument by posting something unrelated to solar energy manufacturing and deployment. No more than you did by responding with "but what about the USA...". Neither are helpful, salient, or convincing.

I thought this headline would be cause for celebration and I'm just disappointed to see so many negative comments that reduce the accomplishment down to red scare style jabs.

I only pointed back at the US to help reframe the situation in readers' minds who are mostly US based. The list of environmental damage by the US would also be too long to list so it seems unfair to have comments presenting 1 side without mentioning the other.
