This solar power station is an abomination. The scale means that the entire countryside around our villages will be blighted. Fertile, crop growing land will not be abandoned in favour of incredibly inefficient, expensive solar energy for what purpose? Simple to store in a bank of some 30 5m tall batteries to be located only one mile from our homes. These batteries are proven to be dangerous particularly in terms of fire. Once they catch fire they cannot be put out and villagers need to be evacuated. Then there’s the sheer magnitude of the construction effort meaning our country roads will become incredibly dangerous for years.
