I understand the wind farms are not as successful as first thought, as I understand the infrastructure cannot deal with the extra electricity they product and are turned off during curtain hours, so just adding more electricity producing things like the solar panels will not help the situations. We need MORE land to grow more crops for our expanding population, and we NEED to be more self-sufficient, as there will be a time when we cannot import cereal from outside the country. The alternative is to put the solar panels on farm buildings and new buildings. NO MORE SOLAR PANELS ON GOOD PRIME CROP LAND.
