Reading the source article in the Roanoke-Chowan News Herald it sounds like Russia Today has added a fair bit of spin to this (as usual).
In particular:
Jane Mann said she is a local native and is concerned about the natural vegetation that makes the community beautiful.
She is a retired Northampton science teacher and is concerned that photosynthesis, which depends upon sunlight, would not happen and would keep the vegetation from growing. She said she has observed areas near solar panels where vegetation is brown and dead because it did not receive enough sunlight.
She also questioned the high number of cancer deaths in the area, saying no one could tell her that solar panels didn’t cause cancer.
Which seems a lot more reasonable.
Mostly, as usual, it is folk worried about their property value.
