Prime agricultural land is being used up. We’re experiencing shortages in supermarkets currently and rather than think ahead to pre-empt we’re repurposing the land. There are better alternatives, turbine for instance. Panels could be placed on industrial building and tower blocks. Glass has been developed that is light enough to go in windows. You want the large solar factories in order to control the power produced and make money not for the good of the climate. Building the farms will have a huge impact on the road infrastructure and the peace of the area. The solar factories (they are not farms) are likely to block or spoil public rights of way. Lincolnshire economy is also based on tourism, this is a significantly beautiful area that you plan to destroy.
