The small town of Woodland, North Carolina has been in the news quite a bit lately. After Woodland's town council voted 3-1 against a proposal to rezone land for a solar farm, citizens were asked how they felt about the ruling, with a few providing some rather interesting comments, such as: "[The solar farms would] suck up all the energy from the sun" and "[Solar farms] could cause cancer." Even crazier still, the latter of the two comments came from a retired science teacher. No, I'm not kidding. The story can be read here:

The before-mentioned citizens' responses left me speechless, so I'll end this by sharing a humorous clip regarding the matter courtesy of Comedy Central's The Nightly Show:
