As a recently departed Freckenham resident, I am writing to continue my objection to the Sunica project. My objections are the following: 1) Solar panels are an extremely wasteful use of agricultural land. Compared with a small nuclear power station they take up vast amounts of space and do not provide energy 24/7. 2) If solar is such a good idea, why are not all new buildings (residential and commercial) required by law to be equipped with solar panels. This would free up agricultural land to be used for food production. Recent events in Ukraine are showing the need for the UK to be far less dependent on foreign sourcing, especially grain. Sunica should be stopped until a full national energy strategy has been formulated.
