And this, America, is why you can't have nice things...

No Solar Farm for North Carolina town in part, because, it will soak up all the sunlight and the plants will die...

They honestly think if you put enough solar panels in an area, they'll somehow "soak up" all the surrounding sunlight? I don't even follow the train of thought far enough to explain how it's wrong. Did these people just flunk high school science? Did they even get that far?

The woman concerned about that is a retired science teacher, apparently...

That explains why the town doesn't know shit about science, either.

The plants below the panel will die...

Completely oblivious to the idea that everything on this planet will die if we don't clean our act up anyway...

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Must have been a different kind of science, or the school she went to had low standards.
Yes the plants directly below the panel might suffer, but that's why you do things in moderation. You have to clear plants out to build a house too, btu that doesn't mean you should never build houses.
