Solar farms are a waste of time and capital.

A better solution would be to kill every human and farm animal living in North Carolina, thereby eliminating the demand.

Kill them all and fill the lands with solar farms to provide power to other more worthy states.

There are more deaths related to solar power than nuclear power.

rooftop solar installation has a higher fatality rate than uranium mining

however, industrial scale solar has a nonexistant or near-nonexistant death count, which is what this thing would've been

We need President Trump, because he can communicate with these people and help explain to them how suns give him his luster. If Bernie Sanders tried to talk to Carolina people they would just complain about the buzzing and then hose him down with Jew repellant. Nothing would change.

Remember that the OxyContin King Rush Limbaugh actually said he wondered if solar panels were keeping the sun from the Earth like 2 weeks back.

(AM Radio is a great way to wake up. The sooner I wake the gently caress up the sooner the rear end in a top hat man stops saying bullshit. Like yesterday where he said compromise is bad and the Democrats MUST BE UTTERLY DEFEATED and anything else is bad n poo poo. Lots of people believe that douchebag. And there are way nuttier assholes on the radio than him.)

yeah, this is fairly close

i'd even say greensboro is alright

the rest... meh... haven't been to charlotte in several years and i heard it has things now, but i'll remain skeptical until i see for myself. charlotte is possibly the most characterless major city on the planet. feels more like a computer generated city in simcity than a real place on earth. it's very offputting.

rural NC is basically no different from rural Mississippi

He's on 12-3 for me. Also the other day he was talking about how he thinks Luke is going to be the bad guy in the new film and then talked about how jessica jones was so grim and how that is a reflection of the millenials outlook because they make up too many problems that don't exist for themselves.
