I object because of: 1. Loss of countryside, look industrial, effect on wildlife habitat. Industrialisation is not good for mine and other people's mental health. I enjoy the countryside and an concerned that the scale of this will have in local wildlife. 2. What about farming land lost, it is not green if we have to import all our produce. The farmers and rural employment lost. 3. Are the solar panels and lithium going to be sourced from ethical manufacturers? Also the carbon footprint of this manufacturing must be taken into account. 4. How is the decommissioning going to happen, will this be green? How many years will it take for the land to recover? 5. I am a young man and distraught at what the older generation are doing to our planet and thinking this is green energy. It will be my generation that have to deal with this mess in the future, solar panels could be out in new builds, factories, middle of motorways, other countries are looking to alternative energy and moving away from solar.
