The "context" is that the author of the piece dishonestly attempts to leave the reader with the impression that 85% of the energy produced last weekend came from renewables (and that 85% is a record). Neither implication is true (they hit almost 100% about a year ago).

So before asking why someone else is "threatened"... why not ask yourself what other than feeling threatened makes it so hard for you to answer a simple question?
