I am registering because I believe that using arable land for solar farms to the extent that this is planned is negligent. Not only is it damaging to the landscape on this scale it is actually damaging to the land itself. I say this in a world were quality arable land for the purpose of growing food is crucial and a priority As is the ability to be self sufficient, producing our own food and not being reliant on poor quality exports. It requires vision to see that future prospects for the production of food in many places all over this world are already endangered. An example of not being self sufficient is where we currently find ourselves with regards to energy. Lastly we already have our share of power plants and wind farms
