i reject this scheme (schemes) due to the following reasons 1. loss of critical arable farm land at a time where food security is paramount and a necessity for our country 2. Loss of wildlife habitat on a major scale 3. the argument that this is a green ecological option where the panels are made from rare earth metals, mined in inhumane and unecological conditions shipped round the world on boats that burn oil to be made in elsewhere and then shipped here to be mounted on steel and concrete, this is plainly ridiculous, 4. the loss of farming jobs and related industry will be massive, 5. these individual schemes will become one major blot on the Lincolnshire countryside for decades to come 6. the effect on peoples mental health due to the drastic changes to the countryside and views 7. the notion that these schemes will produce the amounts of energy stated are far from the truth, if they produce 10% of what is stated will be a miracle. 8. these schemes are driven by a government with a complete lack of understanding of what is required and are going with what will get votes 9. the complete lack of interaction by these faceless entitys whilst the scheme goes through this process is overwhelming, the backers of these schemes will not live in this area or visit, it is a means to make money and profit only
