The danger of solar panels

We have recently heard of news from the United States that are terrible for INESC TEC, and for CPES (Centre for Power and Energy Systems) in particular. As it turns out, all the work we have been doing on solar energy is absolutely worthless, as this energy is simply no longer welcome!

That is the belief of the residents of the small town of Woodland, in the state of North Carolina, who believe that solar panels “suck” all the energy from the sun, preventing plants from growing. According to the population of Woodland, the solar panels are like those children who bully other kids in school to steal their food. And to hell with the little plants that cannot do their photosynthesis in the playground with the little ray on sunshine that their mother sent them in the lunchbox.

Nuclear energy is, however, very popular among the people of Woodland. In an interview with BIP, a local has stated vehemently: “Ever since the nuclear reactor exploded, the plants started growing like crazy! I have an apple tree with teeth and a pine tree with fins,” she said while scratching one of her three heads.
