I strongly oppose this project because Solar farms are industrial installations, not farms. Placing them in rural areas like Byers Gill means sacrificing precious agricultural land, which just doesn't make sense. Farmland is already doing its job as a solar farm by converting sunlight into food energy. Choosing to replace it with solar panels instead of supporting local food production is completely irrational.
