Why was this man not compensated? This is horrendous, how can they live there?

Hideous monstrosity that's usless in a country that is overcast for more more than half of the year. The amount the amount of herbicide used around base posts of these panels is off the scale. Dismantle this crap.

Dismantle it and install it in every home, install it over barns and over carparks.

What a great argument. Let's put a coal fire power plant beside it or another motorway. Sure they're fine.

Love the idea that a a solar farm will affect the climate ...!!

Just plant hedges and trees and you won't be able to see the solar panels. Could be so much worse. We used to destroy whole villages for brown coal....
