Put the SPV on buildings first.
Industrial sites, commercial buildings, carparks, and public buildings could all have installations and provide much more area than essential farm land.
Those sites would be closer to existing electricity grid connections where power is needed 👍

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

Should we stop building solar panels on farms?

Campaigners are warning that government plans could mean farms are "carpeted" with solar panels, even if local residents don't approve.

Would you be happy with that happening near you?

Marketing hype being used on supposed "zero carbon" is a prime example of big business misleading the public.
Such false and half-truths should be called out by the advertising standards people !

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.

I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.

Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.

I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"

You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

@DearGozde Is it 10 ?

A zookeeper walks into the lion enclosure with a salad. The lion eats him.

A zookeeper walks into the giraffe enclosure with a steak. The giraffe is confused but politely declines.

A zookeeper walks into the panda enclosure with bamboo. The panda eats roughly twelve kilos of it and digests about two.

A zookeeper walks into the gorilla enclosure with twenty kilos of leaves and shoots. The gorilla spends nine hours eating it and produces an enormous, satisfied pile of waste.

A zookeeper walks into the wolf enclosure with raw meat. The wolf eats it. Nobody questions this.

A zookeeper walks into the chimp enclosure with fruit, with the understanding that the chimp will also occasionally hunt and eat smaller monkeys, and that this is normal.

Every species, in every zoo, in every country, is fed what its anatomy says it should eat.

Then we get to the human.

The human, who has a stomach acid pH of 1.5, a short carnivore gut, forward-facing predator eyes, a brain built on animal fat, and two million years of skeletal evidence of hunting and butchery behind him.

This animal, the registered nutritionist explains, should have a plate that is half vegetables, a quarter whole grains, and a small triangle of protein.

Why? Because.

The same logic that feeds a lion meat and a giraffe leaves stops dead at the door of the human enclosure.

A different rule applies to us, apparently. A rule written by people who have never observed our anatomy and have never seen what we actually evolved to eat.

The other animals get the truth about what their bodies need. The human gets the food pyramid, a glossy leaflet, and a polite suggestion to maybe cut back on red meat.

Strange, isn't it.

@t6rts147 Or for the double M then it's 500

[SubUrban Grow @SubUrbanGrow]

@t6rts147 B-M 15
B+M 25
B 20
M 5
So then BxM 100

[SubUrban Grow @SubUrbanGrow]

@SqSehrish 20x3. 60
20+3. 23
20-3. 17
So. 602317.

[SubUrban Grow @SubUrbanGrow]

@Beno10_MFC Or be boring and use the 4, 5, and 11

[SubUrban Grow @SubUrbanGrow]

@Beno10_MFC Take the 7 and 4 to give 11, and then take the 6 and turn it upside down to show as a 9. So that's 7 + 4 + 9 giving 20

[SubUrban Grow @SubUrbanGrow]

@Beno10_MFC Eyebrows differ

What a sheep produces in twelve months:

- Two to four kilos of wool
- One lamb, on average
- Roughly 1,000 litres of methane that breaks down in the atmosphere within twelve years
- Lanolin used in everything from skincare to industrial lubricant
- Fertiliser for the field it lives in
- Maintenance of the upland landscape that supports orchids, ground-nesting birds, and dry-stone wall ecosystems
- A small amount of milk if you want it

What a return business-class flight from London to New York produces in nine hours:

- Roughly 1,000 kilos of CO2 per passenger
- No wool
- No lamb
- No lanolin
- No landscape maintenance
- No orchids
- Some duty-free Toblerone

The sheep is doing more for the planet on a wet Welsh hillside than the climate conference attendee did getting to the venue.

Nobody is taking notes.

Farmer: "Gentlemen. I'd like to present the ultimate plant-based protein technology."

Investor 1: "We're listening."

Farmer: "It converts inedible plant matter into complete protein. Grass, cornstalks, brewery waste, vegetable peelings. Anything cellulose-rich that humans can't digest."

Investor 2: "Energy requirements."

Farmer: "Sunlight."

Investor 2: "For the plant matter, you mean."

Farmer: "And for the conversion. Same sunlight. Reused."

Investor 3: "Heating costs for the bioreactor."

Farmer: "None. The unit holds 38.5 degrees year-round on its own."

Investor 1: "Failure rate."

Farmer: "Self-repairing. The unit also replicates once a year at no additional cost."

Investor 3: "Replicates."

Farmer: "Produces a smaller version of itself. Which becomes a full unit."

Investor 2: "Net carbon."

Farmer: "Neutral. The carbon in goes back to the air the grass pulled it from. Round and round, same atoms, no new ones added."

Investor 1: "And the waste output."

Farmer: "Twenty tonnes of soil enrichment per unit per year. The waste is also a product."

Investor 2: "This would obliterate Beyond Meat."

Farmer: "It already has. They just don't know yet."

Investor 1: "Where can we see one."

Farmer: "There are about 1.5 billion currently deployed. Have been for ten thousand years."

[silence]

Investor 3: "It's a cow, isn't it."

Farmer: "It's a cow."

Investor 2: "We were promised plant-based."

Farmer: "The plant goes in one end. I don't know what else you wanted."

@draati3 Top row. 2. 2. 1.
Middle row 3. 1. 3.
Bottom row 2. 2. 2.

So the total is 18 birds (large and small)

@Cairo_xprsk

[SubUrban Grow @SubUrbanGrow]

@Cairo_xprsk 45 / 9 is 5

5 x 5 is 25

90 - 25 is 65

So aged 65
