Aside from this being a dupe of <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10728646" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10728646</a>
...<p>Oh, brother. UK&#x27;s Independent had a similar spin.
What neither article mentioned, which is right in the quoted source articles, is that &quot;Three other solar farms had previously been accepted by the town council, with one of the now putting solar panels up.&quot;
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.<p>Anyway, as detaro mentions here, the Vox piece gives some actual non-clickbait balance to the story.
