The proposal for this ginormous solar park which will blight the landscape and environment for thousands of people and swathes of wildlife, without any contribution to reducing our carbon emissions in its lifetime, is a commercial scam with few winners. Heralded as "green", just because it is solar, actually "greenwash" in reality, the proposal is dangerous, top down and works against local peoples desire to make a difference environmentally through smaller scale realistic energy solutions such as solar power on their rooves and air source heat pumps in their homes. Taking this agricultural land out of production when energy prices (affecting imported food) are soaring without actually meaningfully contributing to national renewable energy targets is scandalous.
