just put the solar panels on top of the garbage dump, thats land you can't use for anything else and its prettier than a garbage dump

i don't understand americans who think that solar cells make a place look uglier though, have you seen an american shop? they're enormous concrete bricks with hideous signage floating like detritus amidst a sea of enormous car parks. and they're cool with them?

Because there's a Cinnabon and or Wetzel's Pretzels inside all those hideous buildings. If solar and wind farms also housed Cinnabons America would be off fossil fuels tomorrow.

Um idiot, the solar panels take away all the sun light, it's a limited resource and we shouldn't waste it by using solar panels.

A town council in North Carolina rejected plans to rezone land for a solar farm after residents voiced fears it would cause cancer, stop plants from growing and suck up all the energy from the sun.

No, The Man with the Golden Gun involved solar power heavily but it was not to cause cancer.

for many decades, "urban renewal" in the US meant "tear down everything and build something that is in vogue" which is why historically nice areas are just horrible mishmashes of brutalism and that weird upbeat 2010s style

Basically a single quack says crazy poo poo at a town meeting. The council straight up tells him he is wrong, but rejects the solar panels on completely unrelated grounds. HuffPo publishes article titles "Solar Farm Rejected Amid Fears It Will 'Suck Up The Sun's Energy'" which isn't technically a lie because they don't straight up say the rejection is related to the fear of the lone crazy person. LOL, gently caress HuffPo and anyone else running with this bullshit.

Agreed with the caveat that if that person is booed and shamed out of the town hall by the rest of the constituents then the town is redeemed.
