Whilst I agree that we need ‘green energy sources’, I feel that the size of the Sunnica proposal is just too vast. They are planning to use areas that would be good agricultural land which we may well need in future times if not now. The cost of producing the panels, batteries and ancillary equipment must also be taken into account, not only monetary but the use of resources needed to make and install the equipment and not forgetting the cost of disposal after, I believe 25 years! At the last meeting I attended this had not been taken into account and Sunnica refused to attend to answer questions from the local community. The batteries required, I feel, are to close to residential areas. How would they get these huge batteries/panels to the sites through the narrow roads they would need to use without causing major disruption to neighbouring residents.
