RB ($10)

ANONYMOUS ($100) - “Oh my god. I’m so glad this is happening. Spit coffee all over my keyboard reading the last two paragraphs of the ERCOT positive basis one. ‘and remember signing the hedge fund or whatever, that’s my Plan B.’ unreal”

CB ($5)

PD ($25)

ANONYMOUS ($5) - “As a huge advocate for using python to make certain processes more efficient, i’m befuddled as to why you would go after this. What’s your beef?”

ANONYMOUS ($200) - “Step out from behind the curtain, we insist. I will donate another $500 if whatever folks are doing this raise their hand”

JB ($100) - “This is gold. Keep writing.”

RM ($50)

GW ($10)

RJ ($50)

ANONYMOUS ($250) - “In case you’re wondering if anyone picked up your reference to the classic onion five blades article….I got it. Worth $250 alone.”

BC ($1000) - “I can’t decide which article made me laugh the most. They were all so on point.”

KR ($10) - “Reveal yourself :)”

JW ($25)

J. Howell ($10) - I can't believe this website exists but it's amazing.

J. Newman ($100) - This is the funniest thing I've read since the economic justification for the affiliate developer fee in my last solar appraisal. Must read content up there with The Logic of Subchapter K.

PR ($100)

J Chase ($50) - I'm just donating so people don't think it's me running the page. Seriously this is spot on, keep up the good work.

ANONYMOUS ($10) - Holy shit this is funny.

PZ ($25) - Rare but beloved commenter here, wiling to "work things out" with a small equity stake in thesunion.com

JS ($250)

K. Basseleck ($50) - so as to not curtail the humor…..I’ll see myself out.

L Peterson ($100) - Loving it!

Anonymous ($25) - Keep writing!!

DS ($50) - Finally, an outlet other than drinking!

RS ($25) - Never see anything more on point (and hilarious) about solar project finance than the Sunion - please keep writing these!

Anonymous ($25) - I can’t decide if I want to know who’s behind this or not. I was obsessed with figuring it out for a few days (and think I might have, FWIW), but now I think you folks might have this right: It’s sort of better if we all never know.

D Keefe ($100) - Honestly the best investment I've made in 9 years of cleantech investing.

I Main ($25) - Finally, a reason to look at my Twitter feed

N McMurry ($50) - this is amazing. keep it up!!

Anonymous ($70) - Write On!

Anonymous ($15)

Anonymous ($50) - Hilarious - keep up the good work

J Macel ($50) - I laughed, I cried, it was better than CATS!!!

J Lillian ($25) - As a former solar trade press editor (Solyndra era, whee!) and current humor writer/techbro-hater, I'm in love with The Sunion. I'd always casually dreamed of someday creating a solar satire site, and now it already exists! Beautiful.

J Haskard ($15) - Like Grist 15 years ago, but meaner!

T O ($50) - Keep up the great work! If anyone from the Onion complains, just send them a quarter zip fleece lol

M Sweeney ($100) - I love the Sunion - it brightens my day with it's niche-y snark and sass - it's the Q4 hero we needed.

L Li ($50) - My holiday linkedin post re the Sunion - https://www.linkedin.com/posts/yancan-lydia-li_opinion-cant-get-your-capital-put-to-work-activity-6879232257446424576-cX3m

T Greer ($100)

MB ($100) - As someone who conducts geotech investigations in NYC, I can confirm we have encountered and released actual demons from the Nether Times... the upshot is that you can recruit them to manage your project finance team for the low low price of 1-2 souls per year.

D Kern ($10)

KWP ($25) - Sarcasm and satire are my preferred forms of therapy ... keep up the good work on behalf of the solar industry!

E Caplan ($50)

B Harvey ($200) - Reading through the posts on your website should be required curriculum for those who are new to our industry. If you don’t get the gist, ask a mentor, prepare for the phrase “holy shit” to jump out of your mouth, and learn some valuable knowledge. What would it take to get a “Sunion Certified Bullshit Detector Professional” certificate to hang in my office and logo to add to my business card and email signature block?

P Vercruyssen ($100)

BK Tuniki ($10)

JDR ($100) - Usually checking sunion page is the best part of my day around ~10AM, and then everything just gets worse from there

S Singh ($100)

J Osmond ($100)

M Klein ($25) - You folks are brilliant. Thanks for the laughs.

L Milner ($50) - The SUNION is hands-down the best source for renewable energy news. Their insightful long-form investigative journalism cuts through the B.S. to bring you the insight you need. Our firm manages over $100 Trillion in assets, and makes all decisions solely based on The SUNION's cutting edge research.

D Barberau ($25) - BNA$$$VOOT! like Sunion

C Ramsden ($10)

R Faulk ($50) - Do you guys offer letters of credit for early, non-refundable IX deposits? I’m a brand new business with zero assets or operating history, and to me it makes sense that someone would offer me 1% money for this. Also, do you mind if I constantly misuse the term “letter of credit” and never take the 10 minutes needed on google to gain a basic understand of what a letter of credit is? Thanks.

C Roberts ($25) - thanks for the hearty chuckles!

A Brown ($10)

S Voss ($50) - Is this enough to get me a seat on the Board?

B Cullen ($25)

S Mettler ($20) - Space-Based Solar Lobbying Corp.

Anonymous ($50) - Though your constant negativism with respect to blockchain/crypto is very irritating, I enjoy swinging though thesunion.com every week or so and thought I should probably donate at this point

A deButts ($50) - Just got an extra $500k from selling a project due to the passage of the IRA, so here's your well-earned .01% commission!
