The size and scale of the project is far too big, there is a place for solar but not on this scale, it will industrialise a large swathe of countryside which should be used for growing crops. The UK imports 40% of its food from abroad, and this could increase, Ukraine is responsible for 12% of the world's wheat and the UK imports 15% of it's milling wheat. Farms such as this will contribute to more imports, which in itself is not green.
