BUT! The real problem it would seem stems from more than just uneducated bumpkins from North Carolina thinking solar panels will soak up all of the sun's rays. It would appear to me the towns people are seeing the results from three other solar farms already in place around their town and said enough is enough.

Media.
Focus on the crackpots.
I've read somewhere, can't remember exactly where, that the real reason the town is resisting it because the area for the solar farm is so far away from existing infrastructure that to hook up the town to the grid would cost more than the budget allows.
Solar farms are a waste of space. Literally.
You have a technology where you can put a small powerplant on every house in the area, sell the owner power at a reduced cost and send the surplus into the grid.
But no, lets destroy entire acres of nature or arable land for an overlay of an existing urban area.
