The UK government didn’t want you to see this report

If you'd said so at the start I wouldn't have bothered even skim-reading it.

I'll put some facts up from The Beano or Viz, either has more credibility than the Guardian.

It's unlikely you actually believe that.

It is if course not true.

If there was anything in the article you think you could disprove, feel free to try.

Where are they doing that?

Got any numbers, details of developments, etc?

Mental climate loons concreting over farm lad to install solar panels,

Would Sir like some facts to go with his opinions?

How about


Less Than 0.1% of UK Land is Used for Solar

According to Solar Energy UK, if the UK were to reach its 70 GW solar target by 2035:

• It would require approximately 0.3% of UK land, which is less than the land currently used for golf courses.
• Existing solar farms occupy just 0.08% of land, compared to 70% for agriculture and 8% for urban development.

In other words, even quadrupling solar deployment would leave over 99.5% of UK land untouched.

And

between 15,580 and 17,364 hectares of land is occupied by ground-mounted solar farms, around 0.06% to 0.07% of the total UK land area. The calculation is slightly lower than previous estimates that had total UK solar farm land use at 0.08%. The additional range of the researchers’ estimate takes into account remaining projects that are registered on the Government’s Renewable Energy Planning Database but do not appear within recent satellite imagery.

If you'd like to put that 15,580 -17,364 ha into perspective, the UK's 5 largest airports total about 3,000 ha, not including all the roads and railways we build to get people to them

Or how about these -

Solar to occupy no more than 0.6% of UK farmland by 2030

The UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) said in response to a recent Freedom of Information (FoI) request that even if all future solar projects under its solar roadmap were ground-mounted, they would occupy no more than 0.4% of the United Kingdom’s total land area.

and at the same time spraying the sky's to dim the sun.

Got any links to more details on that?
