Erecting a million solar panels close to Newmarket will have a detrimental effect to our business. Newmarket is an extremely popular town with beautiful surrounding areas. Ruining this will attract less people to the area, stunt growth and therefore will have a negative effect on property price's and business valuations throughout the surrounding area. Furthermore, the battery's to solar panels catch fire, they cant be put out and create poisonous gasses that can be lethal. There is a strong argument that these solar panels will have a huge carbon footprint as they are manufactured and imported from China, not making them environmentally friendly. The Sunnica project doesn't appear to be about creating sustainable renewable energy but about lining the pockets of the already wealthy.
