"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.

@afewbugs I really don't understand what the problem is with sharing #sheep grazing and #solar panels.
Take a look at sheep in a field on a hot day and you'll understand why it's a really good idea to install solar panels there.

But it doesn't look good so we keep burning coal
