Just a little perspective. . .
The town in question did have a legitimate zoning problem for yet another solar power plant. Their town already has the electrical infrastructure ideal for tying solar plants into the grid, and they'd already approved three solar farms. Another would effectively surround their town.
As for the idiotic comments reported by the newspaper. . . It seems like a reporter went out of his way to find two or three wing nuts making remarks that would serve as good clickbait. Mission accomplished!
I could probably sift through posts here on TMC and cherry pick just as many idiot quotes about nuclear power. I wouldn't try to imply that they are representative of our group, though.
