Plenty of bright folks went to public schools.

There is some truth to the thought. Actually I was thinking that if we get enough solar panels out there generating electricity it should cool the planet.

..I also have a 427 Cobra replica with an aluminum chassis.

Yeah but then we can use that electricity to run space heaters. WIN WIN!

Clearly you guys have forgotten about those waterwheel-induced droughts back in the old days.

Can they appeal this? They could totally appeal this in MA...

In many ways, NC has already lost its appeal...

I was wondering why it was so cold lately. Thanks, solar energy!

Typical NIMBY crap I run into it all the time. They just don't want it and are reaching for reasons to fight it. I'm surprised they didn't say the panels were going to cause rivers! I mean RIVERS! of rain run off and wash away their houses.


If I remember correctly though solar is a federal mandate, I know they cannot stop you from adding it to your roof. This might be the same thing. The developer might just have to sue the town and to get it.


If the developer is a real ball breaker maybe throw an affordable housing application in as well for that same parcel.


People general hate development if its around them or in their area, but they LOVE the results.
