APOCALYPSE WATCH: Solar Farm Rejected Because 'It'll Kill the Town'

Take that, Obama!

Just when you thought America was coming around on the whole climate change discussion comes a recent vote in Woodland, N.C., that would make Bill Nye the Science Guy hand in his papers and consider becoming an art teacher.

The vote denied approval of a solar farm.

With solar energy, we know savings will come, carbons will decrease, and the environment will thank us. Does that matter to the denizens of this rural town of 809? Not in the least.

The concern? Plants won’t grow and the panels will “suck up all the energy from the sun.”
