(1]The loss of the proposed amount of top-quality growing land in England's "Bread-basket" cannot be justified. (2) The importation of over a million Solar Panels and storage batteries from China is also hard to understand. Any fire in these storage batteries would produce toxic fumes. (3) The proposed "Sunnica" scheme does not appear to offer any significant local employment benefit and would be built by Smith Bros. of Yorkshire who apparently have never previously undertaken a scheme of the size currently put forward before. (4)Since "Brexit" the U.K. should be keeping closer controls of any and all new energy schemes. (5)This "Sunnica" scheme will add more carbon over its lifetime than it can ever save.
