Size. The project is very large, it is old technology that will soon be out of date. It is not primarily about producing green energy but energy trading. Storing energy, exported from the grid when it is cheap, then sold back at peak times when demand is high. At a time when should be maximising food production the scheme takes farm land out of production. It is not an 'Energy Farm' it is a Power Station surrounding a village. Sunnica will build the power station and then sell it, who will the decommissioning costs be met by? The construction phase will be lengthy, site traffic will cause massive local disruption & damage to local roads. Local benefits appear to be non-existent. Safety of the Batterys.
