It's a satirical comment made to highlight using mild terms that the comment in question is highly suspect. The implication is that I myself am a member of the 'smokescreen', which is an implied but nonspecific organized group of people engaging with this topic in bad faith so as to shift the narrative in some unfair way, and that I am confessing that the above poster has figured out our secret motivations and because of that, foiled our evil scheme.

This is, of course, an absurd assertion on my part. I'm not a member of the shadow government. There is no shadow government. The regular government is plenty evil enough as-is. Trust me on that, I'm a member of it.

To dismiss an extremely effective and proven technology like that is fine, if you provide any evidence to support your position. But that comment is, to put it politely, "horseshit". To call out just one aspect that irked me, it embodies the extremely tired trope of making a claim while not demonstrating any evidence that said claim is true, then asserting their claim as an obvious and correct conclusion. The issue in specific is that they failed in any way to establish how advocating for an alternative source of power would somehow empower the petrochemical lobby.
