Industrial solar farms that will take thousands of acres of land used for crop growing is not the answer to our energy issue. It will lead to having to import more food which we already have problems with. The battery’s do not store the electricity for long so winter when electricity usage is at its highest we will have none. The impact on the communities surrounded by these solar farms will be enormous,Destroying wildlife habitat and blighting the countryside.
