Abstract
In response to rising energy costs[1] and escalating climate change anxiety, a growing number of Americans are ditching fossil fuels and seeking alternative, clean energy solutions to power their homes. While this is a positive step towards achieving carbon neutrality, there are associated risks, as some see this newfound demand as an opportunity to manipulate vulnerable consumers. As a result, bad actors within the clean energy industry exacerbate the problem of climate change by discouraging homeowners from embracing climate-friendly energy solutions due to fears of predatory lending, property damage, and exploitation.
