boccs:takashi0:THAT’S NOT HOW IT WORKSAs a North Carolinian, the state that houses the town in question, I do feel I need to explain the situation a bit. While it’s true that the town DID reject the solar farm and the ONE person DID utter the bafflingly stupid sentence about sucking up all the sunlight, that was not the main reason for the rejection. The town in question, Woodland, has already approved the construction of three solar farms surrounding it and this most recent rejection was not for ALL solar energy but rather was a rejection for a FOURTH solar farm. As it’s a primarily rural location and does not even reach 1000 local residents the people decided against having a fourth solar farm at this time. None of that makes as interesting a story though so it was all pretty much ignored in favor of zeroing in on one idiot and using them to paint everyone the same way. @takashi0 -- source link
