I am concerned about local protest groups who oppose the solar farm due to unfounded opinions and NIMBYism. Their opposition is focuses upon food security (in an energy crisis), biodiversity (solar farms have been shown to improve this) and 'inefficiency' though it isn't clear what they're comparing this to. They ignore the amount of land in the area that is dedicated to biofuel crops and growing grass which are both poor uses of the land.
