Solar is a necessary addition to the overall production of power but it should NOT be sited on productive agricultural land. There are many available brown field sites and rooves that could be used...

We not only need to be self sufficient in power but food as well. Solar/windfarms don’t feed people - neither does the services sector in London. Nuclear power for energy and fields for food.
