Yeah I have a tiny suspicion that this may not be a 100% honest portrayal of the town's concerns and is, instead, blatant clickbait. Just a hunch.
If it's the same NC town I think it is, the issue stems from how much solar they already have. Three sides of the town are bordered by huge solar farms. This one would have locked the town in and given them no room to expand.
This is actually true. The residents of the town are not afraid it'll suck up all the energy from the sun, they're just concerned because no one has told them solar panels don't cause cancer
IDK man the summary seems to disagree on the mains
A North Carolina town rejected the further installation of solar panels; some residents registered fears that the panels would disrupt the local ecosystem, while many others worried property values would be affected.
I saw what you are referring to, and I'm choosing to believe (to save my braincells, I know its probably wrong) that she was worried about products used in cleaning the panels or ground leaching of chemicals used in the maintenance or manufacture of the panels.
I faintly recall that this was a clickbait title, but I can't confirm it
I bet they believe in fan death, too!
Their mamma is so fat she dysonspheres the sun - and now they want to put solar panels on her.
