I used is Google's algorithm biased against conservatives.
Below is an interesting study by the Economist. It is paywalled, but you can see the graphics. One graphic shows various political sites and their return by Google. Yes, InfoWars and Kos are both biased against. Info Wars is more likely returned than Kos, but both are returned less than most other.
NPR and NY Post are virtually identical in their returns in searches. CNN is returned a bit more than Fox, but it isn't a crazy amount on the chart.
Forbes and Fortune are returned the most. I will say that Forbes' placement seems accurate, I seldom do a search that Forbes isn't returned toward the top.
Our statistical study revealed no evidence of ideological bias in the search engine’s news tab

This guy discusses the issue as someone whose professional job is to boost Google returns:
Here we go again. The Mail has conducted an audit of ten search terms relating to Boris Johnson and concluded […]

Interesting that he says more conservative sites are paywalled than liberal sites. Since Google can't necessarily scan WSJ, it can't see who it links to. It also can't follow links to WSJ. So WSJ will score lower and other conservative sites will score lower because WSJ is paywalled.
NYT is also paywalled and is also returned below the bell curve. As he points out, liberal positions are helped that government sites and university sites are almost never behind a paywall. So all those universities doing research on climate change (and government agencies) contribute positive scores to one another.
Reuters scores very high in factual accuracy and isn't returned as much as it should be. I wonder why? I am guessing media sites pick up Reuters stories and return them with the byline but not with the link. So it isn't getting linked to. Just Googling Reuters returns a lot of other media quoting Reuters, but not linking.
I'm sure you won't like the Economist link, but I find it fascinating. I once was involved in similar work, I was charged both with improving our Google score and with getting email past spam filters. In many ways, the two items are very similar. I didn't have the Google expertise that the real pros have (but I sadly had it at beating spam filters), but there is a lot of public information out there to give one a fighting chance with Google. The problem is so many are trying to maximize Google returns. Sites that don't play the game at all come back on page 23 of your search. That may be your example of wind and solar. We literally would find other places doing similar work and ask them to link us if we linked them in an effort to build both our scores. We weren't selling products per se, we were trying to get out information. Think how a convention and visitor's bureau wants information about events out.
