Solar will Suck up all the Sun?

[J.P.M.]

DUH!!!! Too much sun can cause cancer. That being the case, to much sun can also cause cancer on the solar panels which then washes off when it rains and into the soil and groundwater it goes. The sheeple in NC then drink the water, make moonshine or Kool-aid with it an VIOLA, cancer!

Why didn't I think of that ? Thanx for the heads' up.

Well I thought this was a prank of some type until I read it (well most of it) North Carolina town rejects solar farm over fears it would suck up all the energy from the Sun.

Oh Dear, (to the sound of dueling banjo's)............ there takin our sun...........

She is also asking for someone to prove that they don't cause cancer. Basically prove the absence of it.

That's my guess, I didn't see anyone quoted as saying anything about "Sucking up the sun's energy", it just sounds like they don't want a solar farm and need to come up with a reason..

Oh no....they did in fact directly quote someone.


************ Jane Mann told the council that she is “concerned that photosynthesis, which depends upon sunlight, would not happen and would keep the plants from growing.” She then went on to question the safety of the passive energy production of solar, citing a number of cancer deaths in the area.
“No one can tell me that solar panels don’t cause cancer,” asserted Mann.
After Jane Mann expressed her concern, her husband Bobby Mann took to the pulpit to drive home their case by saying the “solar farms would suck up all the energy from the sun and businesses would not come to Woodland.”

PC Police alert. You cannot say Stupid anymore. Stupid has been replaced with Intellectually challenged.

A stupid person knows what Stupid is, but is clueless what Intellectually challenged means and thinks it is a compliment.

How about a new P.C. term: "Slothfully Induced Ignorance" ?

I read and laughed at that article
The objections listed fell into the "special kind of stupid " category

The article I read stated that the retired teacher had seen plants around solar arrays that were "dry and dead" so she felt the solar panels were "sucking" up all of the sun which killed the plants.

I wonder if she even heard of "round up". Again my feelings are some people are afraid of their own shadow and will believe or concoct their own terrible justifications for something they don't like.

Seems to me that there are some web sites and forums that believe everything they read without checking
it out. smh http://www.nationalreview.com/corner...ng-suns-energy

Indeed. And even more ironically, the piece you posted contains the very same sort of errors.

Point taken, but I'd guess the town council still rejected the solar farm for perhaps reasons unstated in the ibtimes piece.

Where's fact check when you need them ?

That is why Teachers teach. Schools and universities are full of them.

To wit: "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."

[Sunking]

Aside from that, the article's subject is no more than a bunch of mindless B.S. of the type as exemplified by that nitwitted retired teacher that was mentioned.
