I am against the use of good arable land being used simply because there is a convenient link to the grid and causing us to have to import food and oils. It will ruin bridle ways and pathways and reduce the attraction to tourists. The country lanes will be lost to heavy vehicles and construction. Farm workers will lose their livelihood. Wildlife habitat will be lost no matter the promises made. You are ruining the lives of many communities just to make profits and meet a flimsy governments ever changing commitment to grandiose schemes to help the climate. Regardless of the impact from covering land in huge metal structures and increased use of diesel fuelled vehicles. Madness.
