Campaigning to preserve farmland, ensuring a balanced approach to solar development that respects our natural heritage and food security.

The image on the right makes way more logical sense than the image on the left.

@JamesMelville These are just some of the solar projects being considered by @Ed_Miliband in the midlands.

[RoofTopNotCrops @RoofTopNotCrops]

@JamesMelville For every unit of electricity produced solar panels emit four units of heat adding to atmospheric heating.

▪️ Total value of solar panels exported from China to the UK in the first half of 2023 alone = £300 million
▪️45% of UK imports of solar modules came from China in 2022
▪️ The production of solar panels in the Xinjiang region linked to the alleged exploitation of Uyghur Muslims.

@Ed_Miliband It would be great to see details of this plan. @Ed_Miliband

@GeoffBeacon @CPRE Solar developers want to panel 12.5% our Newark & Sherwood’s farmland. This is disproportionate

[RoofTopNotCrops @RoofTopNotCrops]

@SamMaclaine @CPRE This is the impact in Newark and Sherwood. 10,000 acres of solar panels consuming 12.5% of the region’s farmland. This is equivalent to the size of Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Manchester airports combined.

[RoofTopNotCrops @RoofTopNotCrops]

@SCoastSteve @CPRE Who does it cost 2.5 times more? The business model of the solar developers should not be a consideration when it comes to protecting the countryside.

[RoofTopNotCrops @RoofTopNotCrops]

@CPRE It would be nice to see the detail of Miliband’s plan to ensure that these are not simply hollow words

[RoofTopNotCrops @RoofTopNotCrops]

@NetZeroWatch Why these panels can’t be on rooftops is a mystery

[RoofTopNotCrops @RoofTopNotCrops]

.@UKLabour criticized private ownership of utilities for years. Now they’ve approved solar projects like Sunnica, Mallards Pass, and Gate Burton, all backed by big private investors. Voters deserve consistency! @Ed_Miliband @Keir_Starmer #Hypocrisy #PoliticalIntegrity #Labour

[RoofTopNotCrops @RoofTopNotCrops]

@DewiEirig @Jamie_Blackett All of the utility scale solar proposals are in England.

[RoofTopNotCrops @RoofTopNotCrops]

@NoFarmsNoFoods Absolutely

[RoofTopNotCrops @RoofTopNotCrops]

@tommlancaster @Telegraph Solar developers want to consume 12.5% of the farmland in @NSDCouncil area not just the 0.5% you are claiming.

[RoofTopNotCrops @RoofTopNotCrops]

@tommlancaster Why do the ‘pro-solar’ lobby assume this article is anti-solar? Why don’t they push to exploit the ample roof space which is already available first? Rooftop solar mostly needs no planning permission and brings production closer to consumers.

[RoofTopNotCrops @RoofTopNotCrops]

@tommlancaster ‘Moderate’ for what? Grade 3b land is often perfect for growing cereals.

@NoFarmsNoFoods All other options should be exhausted before productive farmland is turned over to solar.
