"The idea that solar power could interfere with the UK’s food security is utterly detached from reality. Solar power generated over 8% of all our electricity this spring, but takes up less land than golf courses."
Better idea than banning solar panels on potential farmland - turn all the golf courses into community gardens and allotment sites.

I am sure there was some research in to the impact of solar panels being installed in a field of livestock (perhaps sheep) and it was found there was no or little negative impact.
It doesn't like anything that goes against their thinking, so the science leads on climate change but that gets in the way of them allowing big oil to drill as that way the government get revenue from that. I guess
@zleap yes but you see that's actual evidence, and our government doesn't like that
