US Town Rejects Solar Panels Because They May “Drain The Sun” Or Prevent Plants From Growing

Oddly, the town of Woodland, North Carolina recently voted to reject the construction of a solar farm in the area, because residents were afraid of the potential consequences. Some residents showed up to town meetings insisting that not enough was known about solar technology and that solar panels could lead to numerous problems, including the potential draining of the sun.

One retired teacher who should have known better arrived at the meeting and suggested that having solar panels in the area could prevent plants from growing, because there would be less sun energy for photosynthesis. She said that areas that were near solar panels were not as green as other areas because the plants were getting less sunlight. Going on, she blamed solar panels for increased levels of cancer in the region.

"I want to know what's going to happen, I want information. Enough is enough. I don't see the profit for the town. People come with hidden agendas. Until we can find if anything is going to damage this community, we shouldn't sign any paper," she said, according to the Roanoke Herald.

Another resident argued that that panels would suck up all the energy from the sun and prevent businesses from developing in the area.

I think the crazy news is getting to me... all I can do is sigh.

^ has a lot to do with how the story is told though. Yes there are a lot of stupid people around. Woodland North Carolina isn't an exception. But the news showed only the ridiculous reasons some people presented. But others had economic reasons. Or were worried property values could be affected if they installed another solar farm. They have three already.

I am under the impression that solar farms only make places MORE user-desirable. People are jumping on the green train at a high rate.

Gosh... and this happens in a country that is supposedly the most advanced country in the world!? I guess the US needs to revise their education methods!

Not criticizing solar farms here. Only saying that the way the news was covered wasn't good. Everyone focused on the reasons some ignorant people put forward. But those weren't the only reasons. And maybe not the reasons the decision was taken in the end. Don't know the situation of the town to know if more solar panels would help. So the economic reasons may make sense.

Are people really that dumb, or is that just the way the news has been reported?
I knew every village has a village idiot, but this town seems to be full of them.

If you would open up the other half of your mind, you would immediately recognize your proofs are only half proofs. You would then see how they fail. Obviously, your choice.

Wow we live in such a world of idiots who make the stupidest claims you could think of.

Makes you wonder if they really believe this stuff or they actually have another financial incentive to spout that nonsense.

You flat-earth jokers run around with that density thing that suggests that there is no gravity. Here is my response to it, below. It's the same with the rest of the stuff you say. You have yourselves a good religion going there.

Gravity is a hoax its all to do Density.

Without gravity, density wouldn't do the things that you show in this picture/diagram. Without gravity the different substances and objects in the picture would be all mixed up, located anywhere within the jar, or outside of it if there wasn't any lid on the jar. Without gravity, density wouldn't have much of any meaning at all.

Energy is a zero-sum game. Energy is neither created nor destroyed. So technically, they *are* draining it from the sun. Though I still don't agree that it's something to worry about.

Yes, this is all true but also it is a little known fact that daylight saving time is the primary cause of global warming, it's that extra hour of sun beating down on the earth every day.

Methane gas (from cows) is a huge one as well. EAT MOAR COWS! SAVE THE WORLD!
