Now's the time where there should be a war time effort to build renewable energy in this country (and in Europe) but the government sits around and does nothing. The incoming prime minister even suggests scrapping the green levy on energy bills, and is attacking solar panels suggesting that we shouldn't build them and instead use the land to farm food.
There should be a scrapping of planning permission for the building of small solar farms and small wind turbines. They should be approving new wind farms at record rates. Instead it takes them years and years to approve this shit, and the NIMBYs get away with blocking it.
2 more years of this by the way. The state of this country...
- ajvs 4y agoThe use of perfectly good farmland for solar panels is wasteful. Have you not heard of the current Netherlands protests about the same, which is likely to cause food shortages in the years to come? I'd rather instead nuclear power plants since they're a fraction of the size compared to solar, or solar panels on top of existing buildings, or more wind turbines since they're more space-efficient and can alternatively be placed offshore.
