Solar will "suck up" all the sunlight

Not sure what is more depressing here - that a government would actually buy this argument, or that the woman claiming that solar panels would suck up all the sun was a science teacher.

US town rejects solar panels amid fears they 'suck up all the energy from the sun'

A retired science teacher said she was concerned the panels would prevent plants in the area from growing

A US town has rejected a proposal for a solar farm following public concerns.

Members of the public in Woodland, North Carolina, expressed their fear and mistrust at the proposal to allow Strata Solar Company to build a solar farm off Highway 258.

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.

Jane Mann, a retired science teacher, said she was concerned the panels would prevent plants in the area from photosynthesizing, stopping them from growing.

Ms Mann said she had seen areas near solar panels where plants are brown and dead because they did not get enough sunlight.

She also questioned the high number of cancer deaths in the area, saying no one could tell her solar panels didn't cause cancer.

A spokesperson for Strata told the meeting: "There are no negative impacts. A solar farm is a wonderful use for a property like this."

They added: "The panels don't draw additional sunlight."

The council voted three to one against rezoning the land and later voted for a moratorium on future solar farms.

I'm guessing Ms Mann was related to Micheal E Mann....

About as good as the politician who stated a ghost gun was a magazine Clip fed gun that shot 30 rounds per second. Or the other one that was the author of a gun restriction bill and could not even tell the reporter what a magazine was. Or the other one that said to use a shotgun to fire warning shots into the air at intruders.

There is always gonna be the idiots that rise to the attention of the media.

Yes, climate change was invented so the rest of the world could get money from the US. And companies like Exxon Mobile agree, since they benefit from these other countries getting money from the US.

That makes so much sense, incredible nobody but the GOP believes it.

Rush, I'm pretty sure you believe that the highest levels of government government are capable of lying, and do lie about, literally everything else they have a hand in controlling. We know that much of the intel justifying the invasion of Iraq was faulty and that some of it was deliberately falsified. What is behind your insistence that Bush couldn't possibly have been anything but an innocent dupe?

That is an incredibly concise and reasonable question. What do you think the chances are that the response will be the same?

You mean president Cheney, right?

Dubya was not as innocent as the right would have you think, but neither was he as guilty as the left would have you believe.

The reason I liked Cheney, is that he went hunting with a lawyer . . . And shot him in the face.

I can agree with the part about knowing the intel was faulty in hind sight

And government now lies with impunity because they and the media will not call them on it much anymore
Unless they are republicans it seems

The government now lies with impunity? But ten years ago they didn't?

OK, what about the Clinton administration? Lewinsky aside, do you think the government was honest then?

At least as honest as the parliament.
