the stupid.....it burns

 

Jane Mann said she is a local native and is concerned about the plants that make 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 plants from growing. She said she has observed areas near solar panels where the plants are brown and dead because they did not get enough sunlight.

 

Bobby Mann said he watched communities dry up when I-95 came along and warned that would happen to Woodland because of the solar farms.

 

“You’re killing your town,” he said. “All the young people are going to move out.”

 

He said the solar farms would suck up all the energy from the sun and businesses would not come to Woodland.
