I fail to see how importing a million solar panels from China that will most likely end up in landfill environmentally friendly. The huge carbon footprint that manufacturing these panels from 5,000 miles away will create is unconsidered, I don't agree with using cheap Chinese labour that's usually used in their manufacturing (China has a deplorable human rights record). And I don't agree to doing significant business with China, the country who unapologetically spread Covid 19 worldwide and is a strong ally of Russia. Quality English farmland should be used for growing crops, England is only 64% self sufficient in food. I don't agree with destroying a habitat with 100's of species. Solar panels would be better placed on industrial unit roofs.
