    It’s MIT, they’re not exactly a clickbait source.

    The reply is what makes the excerpt seem inflammatory. It’s an article about the economics of solar power, so the excerpt is a fair representation of both the article and the real issue it’s discussing.

    It would be sensationalist if they said “critical problem paying for solar power comes from negative prices, threatening future of solar adoption”

    Framing it as though it were a condemnation of solar turns a statement of fact into something different than what it is.
