This town is not too bright about solar panels.
A North Carolina town rejected a solar farm proposal after citizens at the Woodland Town Council expressed fears that the panels would take away sunlight from their town.
Jane Mann, a retired science teacher from Northampton, spoke at the town meeting with concerns about photosynthesis and was worried plants wouldnât get enough sunlight if solar panels were installed, the Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald reported.
She also argued that solar panels could cause cancer.
Her husband, Bobby Mann, claimed that solar farms would âsuck up all the energy from the sunâ and ruin the townâs businesses.

Sounds like the entire town has been hitting the moonshine a little hard this season. Might want to mix a little eggnog with that folks...
Americans need to know the truth. This story should be spread far and wide. We need to do our part to save humanity.
environMENTALists?
Indeed. Just like how it takes longer to get a tan if there are more people on the beach. :-)
That's hysterical because it's the first thing I thought though I couldn't think of his name.
Replace “sunlight” with “federal subsidies” and they have a point.
You don’t need to be a scientist to figure that out...Ever since they put up those wind turbines not far from me, we rarely get a breeze any more...
Of course, the salient question is cost effectiveness and whether it really is a smart idea for the local area - can never tell what the real effect/agenda is these days whenever some agency tries to go "Green".
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate as the next President.
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader
PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
Apparently she taught global warming.
“You donât need to be a scientist to figure that out...Ever since they put up those wind turbines not far from me, we rarely get a breeze any more...”
What do the turbines do to the wind?
How many wind turbines are around you?
Black holes to suck more sunlight into a solar panel? Wonder if anyone would buy them as an aftermarket accessory?
sounds like the gene pool definitely needs some chlorine
