This scheme is wrong on many counts, including but not limited to the following. It is too big and will swamp the area, changing the very nature of the locality from village and mixed farming to an extensive industrial generation plant. Every acre of farmland taken from food production results in increased imports as we are not self-sufficient. This reduces the headline green credentials of the scheme. This is only one example of collateral damage that can come from such a scheme. Calculations including the whole system of interactions is needed to genuinely evaluate whether there is not a better way to achieve the ends by better means. Too big. Not fully thought through. Pure commerce for profit, not a considered good option to help towards the reduction in fossil fuel reliance.
