Yeah, it's funny when you see something that sounds like an Onion article and it turns out to be true.
I'm more amused by the comments of the science teacher.

From the looks of it, it seems that all the comments made by the stupid people were real, but the headline is incorrect in stating that they were the reason for rejecting the solar farm.

Yeah, but "town rejects solar farm because it will bring down their property values" isn't an interesting headline.

I'm not quite sure how a solar farm would bring down your property values in NC. I would think it would be a good neighbor.
- It doesn't get drunk and beat its wife.
- It doesn't ride its truck through your yard
- Its dog doesn't bark all day.
- Its kid doesn't play loud thumpy music

Now you're making me want to go find and buy some property next to a solar farm.

LLNL is in the middle of installing a 10 acre, 3MW solar farm.
The area it is being installed is one of the biggest ground squirrel farms I know of. I'm wondering how tasty the ground level fixed angle solar plant is going to be.

Yea, my neighbors do get annoyed with me
- It doesn't get drunk and beat its wife.
- It doesn't ride its truck through your yard
- Its dog doesn't bark all day.
- Its kid doesn't play loud thumpy music
You really have to move.
