Woodland, North Carolina (population 809), has banned solar farm construction because, among other reasons, it would “suck up all the energy from the sun.” Some other fears brought up by the populace are that "the farm would cause cancer deaths, kill plants around the panels, and drive away young people from the town." This last one is a shock, because, until now, the rest of the country was unaware of the hatred of solar energy by young people. Grist reporter Katie Herzog, a native of N. Carolina, writes:
Solar panels seen sucking all of sun's energy.
There are ways around things like this and here is one of my ideas. Any future solar farms could be built in the nearby tiny village of George, if it was agreeable. Thus, Woodland residents who know a little basic science or who don't mind living dangerously can illegally highjack power from George.

Is North Carolina the new Florida?
Something odd is going down in the Old North State. Once the relatively blue [Democrat] island in a sea of red [Republican], North Carolina underwent a conservative takeover in 2012, which led to the introduction of some embarrassing legislation: There was the motorcycle abortion bill, the bill that made nip slips a felony, the one that banned Sharia law, the repeal of the Racial Justice Act, and the bill that allows guns in bars — because the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a drunk guy with a gun.
Plus, there are notable residents like the Planned Parenthood shooter, the Olympic Park bomber who hid out in the national forest for five years, and this guy, who insists that Sasquatch has 12 fingers and beaaaauutiful hair. Things have gotten so bad there that William Saletan recently wrote in Slate, “Forget Syria. The most dangerous religious extremists are migrants from North and South Carolina.”
