3 Reasons 1 City Said NO to New Solar

Woodland in Northampton County, North Carolina, voted in a moratorium on new solar.

3 Reasons why:

• aesthetics. solar farms are not pretty.
• property values. neighboring proeprty owners believe solar farms lower their property values.
• harm to agriculture. A crop science professor at NC State explains that solar farms  “may well be one of the most important agricultural issues of our generation.”
