JOHN NETTLES PRESENTS DEVON CPRE'S 'SAVE OUR FIELDS FROM SOLAR FARMS' CAMPAIGN.

Our small, independent Devon-based charity is fighting to stop the giant, international solar farm developers from ruining our countryside, taking out fields that are vital for sustainable food production and carbon storage. Please, donate to our Crowdfunder campaign to back our High Court challenge to overturn permission for this 164-acre solar development and create a war chest to fund future campaign actions:
www.crowdfunde...
By helping us now, you will be helping to influence how councils elsewhere determine future applications for big solar developments that degrade valuable farmland. These applications are coming thick and fast across the UK and we believe there are far better places for miles of solar panels than on prime agricultural land.
Devon CPRE is enormously grateful to TV star John Nettles for spearheading our campaign against proposals for ever-larger solar farms that threaten to despoil Devon’s green and pleasant countryside. This video challenges ‘green’ claims that solar farms are low carbon and are a good use of agricultural land. They are not!
If solar farms are so good for converting sun to electricity to help solve a global issue, surely they should be sited in parts of the world where the sun is strongest, not on rainy Devon’s precious green farmland just for some to make a vast profit?
John Nettles lives near the village of Pyworthy in northwest Devon where residents, with our help, are fighting the development of a massive solar installation at Derril Water. Details of the planning decision can be found on the Torridge District Council website (reference 1/0249/2021/FULM).
This scheme and other current proposals throughout the county total around 1,000 acres of farmland that could soon disappear under black glass.
Help us keep Devon's fields green. Join us and join the campaign at www.cpredevon.org.uk/membership/

This is so true worldwide! Here in Michigan , USA, we have lots of rain and snow and get as cold as -30F in the winter near Detroit. Not suitable weather. And they put the solar panels on crop land, not marginal land. So the panels don’t produce electricity every day. There is not even the benefit of producing the panels in our country, but the panels come from China. I agree with you. Solar panels should go on factory roofs, house roofs, and the electricity produced should be available to the homeowners, factories, instead of the electric companies only.

[@vickysullivan4798]

Its happening in our neck of the woods in Southern Illinois, little Egypt tucked between the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. We are battling to stop the destruction of good farmland with solar farms that are planted with tons of concrete. NO FARMS NO FOOD.

[@johngreen3543]

Food production in the US is so massive that we have tons of it for export. The price of the food is then so low that some small farmers cannot make a living. By decreasing supply using less land will increase the price and create a situation where the government need not supply subsidies to farmers to not produce and the small farmer can avoid selling the land to big agra businesses It is a win-win in the end for some of that unused farmland to be devoted to solar energy production. And I think it may also be true for England as well.

They should put these in ugly parts of the U.K., parts that have long been ruined. Put them on the tops of flat roof tower blocks in London, put them in city parks as its cities that use the most energy, put them in airport fields. I grew up and lived in Devon until 1999 when I moved to Canada and now live in Austria. Devon is a very special landscape who’s major industry is tourism, people trying to reconnect with natural beauty, put these things in and that natural beauty is gone and with it Devon’s largest industry, after all, who wants to drive around fields of black glass!

[@christinescarff4920]

As a trained ecologist I can appreciate the objections to this . Funnily enough, I think John Nettles USED to live near Stratford upon Avon as I do, and there is a similar ‘ solar farm ‘ on pasture land near here, though on a smaller scale to the Devon one. Sadly one of the objections seemed to be about the weather and rain with the comment ‘ it should be sited further south ‘. Where then exactly? - Devon is as far south as you can get in the UK ! But the despoliation of the landscape in an area of high tourism and more to the point the toxicity of the products making up the solar panels are totally valid as objections. The bottom line is, we should ALL use less electricity, and as the old cliche says ‘ Live simply that others may simply live ‘.

I'm on my third viewing of the entire 21 season series of Midsomer Murders. That said, I'm delighted to see John Nettles doing his part, not as the fictional Chief Detective Inspector, but as an advocate to block, if at all possible, the installation of ever more inefficient solar panels on Devon's countryside. The series, which always took pains to portray the land and villages at their most beautiful was, and remains, a good part of its charm. To damage and degrade such land, for the sake of no real long term energy benefit, not to mention solars renowned lack of reliability, borders on the criminal. Best of luck in your efforts to stop it expansion.

Tell the land owners to stop selling . Or form an investment group and buy the land yourselves . I like John Nettles. From Arizona usa .

Finally a decent celebrity speaking out about the hypocrisy and destructiveness of the Green movement!

Heather Darwin has the REAL insight into the situation.

Tell it like it is, John! BTW, I’m still enjoying Midsomer! Thanks.

The pluses and minuses of alternative energies must be closely examined. If not, more harm than good will be done.

[@WhatstheSizzle]

As we attempt to change to clean energy, we must not cut our noses off to spite our face. Good, clean energy, but at 8 billion & counting, we will need to focus 80 percent of our attention to food: seeding; harvesting, preping, making other foods, transport of food, etc. Use deserts for solar farms like here in Nevada (home of Las Vegas) USA but 80 percent of our state can't be farmed, its desert basically, so lets get the farms where they do the most good & leave good food producing soil intact.

[@elisabethshelley4758]

Good luck Mr Nettles.I agree with you. I used tolive in Devon and find it so sad when these wretched people try to impose their stupid theories. Just keep quiet for a while and look around you and also suggest thinking would help

[@janetgillespie6590]

The answer is to reduce our consumption, not industrialise more !

I agree with you John ...these solars panels are a pollution .

[@renataburic1933]

My favorite series on TV is Midsomer murders,,,👍John Nettles hello From Croatia, Europa, 👍💐🙂

[@susannahcoffin3688]

It beggars belief, if you think about all our urban friends that have no option but to work in the cities, their only chance of escaping to the country for a holiday to enjoy the fresh air and views go cycling take that away and where do these people go for a break from their everyday concrete filled lives.

[@levimacdonald5188]

TRUE 💯.. Good one Mr John Nettles👏👍🌟 Midsomer murders

[@LiverpoolTours2023]

If I was ever famous enough to have an autobiography written, I’d want John Nettles to voice the audio version. A gentleman!

[@salomegatto6986]

Peccato che è cambiato ispettore Barnaby , mi piaceva di più il signor nettles! Certo che stare in campagna non ha prezzo!!!👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

That is the stuff nightmares are made of!

[@bartroberts1514]

I know this comment is a year out of date, but then I just realized the special Picture of Innocence irony of Mr. Nettles casting himself in the role of a solar Headley Madrigal, railing against 'electronics' and 'computers'. And whether it was intended as caricature or not, to the hilt!

[@wochenendsonnenschein5853]

Hello Mr. Barnaby, Sir, greetings from Germany and good luck !!

Solar Panels should be put on the roof of Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, etc so the Queen does her bit. Solar Farms should be designed to look like Ponds and Lakes - its not Rocket Science.

[@malcolm8564]

The queen keeps the palaces warm by burning coal on open fires . Open fires should be banned not PV.

[@darrellsturmey2683]

It would be nice if she could give me a free Staycation at Buckingham Palace and she serves me Posh Nosh and a bottle of Champagne.
