I'm worried about the impact of a huge solar farm on the community. Habitat loss for wildlife and decline in plant diversity, affecting the food chain. I'm also concerned about the impact on local land use and the desctruction of vital high grade farm land. I'm for renewable energy, I'm not convinced that a large solar farm is the best option. It seems that they can be expensive and not as effective as other sources of renewable energy like wind power. We should prioritize protecting our local wildlife and environment while also promoting sustainable energy.
