North Carolina citizenry defeat pernicious Big Solar plan to suck up the Sun

Aside from this being a dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10728646 ...

Oh, brother. UK's Independent had a similar spin. What neither article mentioned, which is right in the quoted source articles, is that "Three other solar farms had previously been accepted by the town council, with one of the now putting solar panels up." The solar company wanted additional parcels rezoned to allow their expansion into a residential area; that is what was opposed at this meeting. Both articles took objections stated by a grand total of one couple and generalized them into a farce that depicted a town full of Luddites... ... a town that has already approved three solar farms for this company alone. Now, I gotta wonder what else on Ars Technica is bogus.

Anyway, as detaro mentions here, the Vox piece gives some actual non-clickbait balance to the story.
