Solar farms affect food production

-

I’M not against solar panels but they have to be in the right place.

Declan Deasy and his like-minded followers are quick to advocate using prime agricultur­al land for solar ‘farms’ but they don’t offer a solution as to how and where we can grow our own food. You can’t plant vegetables or grain under a solar panel! Are they happy to import second-class food from around the globe?

Like most of the climate change groups, no matter how well intentione­d their proposals, they do not fully think through the implicatio­ns of these proposals.
