Identifying Ad Hominem Fallacy

Easy Critical Analysis Logical Fallacies

However, just look at the companies that are trying to undermine our efforts to switch! They're the same ones funding misinformation campaigns against renewable energy sources!" This argument appears to suggest that the opposition's interests discredit their claims about solar energy.

Identify the logical fallacy present in the speaker's argument above.
