Actually some people dont know enough about solar panels and cant properly express their fears.
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.
Quote:
"Jean Barnes said she represented many citizens who rejected any more solar farms coming to the Woodland area and presented a petition to the council.
Barnes asked that any future solar farm requests be placed on a referendum so the citizens can make the decision.
Mary Hobbs has been living in Woodland for 50 years and said she has watched it slowly becoming a ghost town with no job opportunities for young people.
She said her home is surrounded by solar farms and is no longer worth its value because of those facilities.
She added that the only people profiting are the landowners who sell their land, the solar companies, and the electric companies.

We had a similar fight against wind farms. Told the companies to pack sand they went bust and never came back.
