The guardian have previously been found to generate a significant amount of ad revenue from fossil fuel companies. They aren't politically aligned with it, but are financially. Remember that a large portion of the left in the UK are also anti-solar since they are pro-green nature and they have yet to make a choice on this.

P.s I am pro renewable and pro-solar/wind/nuclear just to clarify that this is nothing about my personal beliefs.

Cite your source. The Guardian stopped accepting ads from the fossil industry 6 years ago - [0]

It is convenient to be suspicious against news that isn’t aligned with your views.
