I bet those two believe in global warming as well.

As far as I can see all the crazy sucking the energy up and causing
cancer type comments all came from two people (who were not council
members)... who happen to share the same last name.
It sounds like the reason they voted to reject it was because the
residents didn't want it there... which is kind of the town council
should be doing, whether their reasons for wanting it there are
logical or not isn't entirely relevant. Most of the objections appear
to have been that it would be an eyesore... on the other hand, if the
majority of the residents did want it to happen, and the town council
was just persuaded to turn it down because of a couple of nutcases
ranting, they should (and probably will) be voted out in the next
election.

from the article. True, two citizens that made comments were nuts
but you find that anywhere.

Go figure. It’s the death of critical thinking in this
country. It has spawned lots of ignorance. Did you know an
elected city zoning board in Woodland, NC just banned a solar
farm on the grounds that it would steal too much of the sun’s
energy, thus putting photosynthesis of plants and crops at
risk? Yeah, that just happened in the U.S.A….in 2015.

I think that was misunderstood. My point was, regardless of
the candidates, is that the vast majority of voters simply
don’t know the facts, don’t care about the facts, and are not
prepared to provide a vote that is based on research and
education. I can ask 10 people what the Trans Pacific
Partnership was about and 10 of them won’t have a clue. Show a
picture of Biden to 10 people and I’d be surprised if 8 of
them recognize him and his position in the government. Most of
them don’t have any idea of our country’s history, could tell
you the difference between Democracy, Socialism, and
Communism, or even know who fought in World Wars, the Civil
War, or even which side won. The fact is, even with all the
resources available to the public today, the average voter is
more ignorant today than in the past. The all know the
Kardashians but few of them could name off their Senators or
Congressman. This isn’t partisan, this is the state of our
country today. Picking out supporters of any candidate for
being ignorant is trite when the entire electorate is clueless.

Trump is appealing to the base fears and anger for a large
number
of people who believe nobody else is addressing th those
concerns.
I had to laugh today. I saw some consultant interviewing
a bunch
Trump supporters. Some lady said she didn't like Obama
because he
was arrogant and thought to much of himself. I thought,
"wait a
second. You are a trump supporter?" Doesn't Trump have
nearly the
entire market cornered on that trait?
