That's gotta be the scariest part of this right here.Jane Mann, a retired science teacher, said she was concerned the panels would prevent plants in the area from photosynthesizing, stopping them from growing.
Yes. We can see what happened to you with the lack of photosynthesis.Grizalltheway wrote:That's gotta be the scariest part of this right here.Jane Mann, a retired science teacher, said she was concerned the panels would prevent plants in the area from photosynthesizing, stopping them from growing.
Well...stretching really far here...technically...if you build something that casts shade it's going to reduce photosynthesis among the plants that get the shade that wouldn't otherwise be there.Grizalltheway wrote:That's gotta be the scariest part of this right here.Jane Mann, a retired science teacher, said she was concerned the panels would prevent plants in the area from photosynthesizing, stopping them from growing.

I might be short, but I'm fat. Ok. So you have this happy little plant living in the sunshine, at least during most of the day. You build a solar panel and now it's in the shade most of the day. Do you not cut photosynthesis? Poor little plant.Yes, you are, but you usually go out of your way to defend backasswards idiots.
I didn't see where any of the elected officials made the stupid comments, they came from the public (and we know how smart the public is - see Obama election and re-election). One person commented about loss of property value which would be a legitimate concern especially when it comes to a rezoning request.Chizzang wrote:Why..?
Get this,
because Solar Panels suck up all the suns energy - shortening the life of the sun
Kill plant life by taking all the suns power causing drought
and Solar Panels cause cancer

If that is what they are worried about, then all new buildings, light poles, bridges, etc... should be rejected. That isn't what they are saying. They can't be saying that. hell, you stand up long enough during the day and your SHADOW will impact it.JohnStOnge wrote:Ok.

The Manns shouldn't have this much power in their town. That kind of thinking is dangerous.During the Woodland Town Council meeting, one local man, Bobby Mann, said solar farms would suck up all the energy from the sun and businesses would not go to Woodland, the Roanoke-Chowan News Herald reported.

Not defending anything those folks did in N.C., but there are plenty of solar panel fields that are installed at the ground level. Obviously not in developments, but they certainly do exist.bandl wrote:My solar panels are on my roof, as are all the solar panels in my neighborhood/town.JohnStOnge wrote:

What power do they have? They're not elected officials. They are simply citizens exercising their right to speak their opinion, albeit ill-informed opinion, at a public meeting.Ibanez wrote:The Manns shouldn't have this much power in their town.
