  1. This area is suited to solar energy. Over 10 years my own panels have exceeded Europa estimate by 10% 2) The peak output is close to the output of one of the two Sizewell B generators, but the build cost would be a tiny proportion of the cost of nuclear. 3) Several hundred acres of maize were grown in the area this last seaon - destined for biodigester plants. Solar panels would be a far more efficient substitute. 4) The landscaping and environmental proposals of the Sunnica plan would be a local enhancement when compared to the large hedgeless fields of monoculture that are prevalent. The removal of slurry spreading, herbicide and pesticide spraying, and diesel machinery use would be very beneficial to our environment. 5) We urgently need more eco generation to power the exponential boom in electric transport. I strongly support the proposal.
