Just when the UK needs cheap, abundant solar power the most, the government has declared war on solar sited on farmland.
Leave it to the UK to come up with the dumbest idea of the century. With Europe and the British Isles slouching toward catastrophe this winter thanks to war criminal Vladimir Putin shutting off access to cheap natural gas, most countries are racing to install more renewable energy. But not Liz Truss, who has the dubious distinction of making Boris Johnson look like a Nobel laureate.
Extending BMV to grade 3b would ban solar from about 41% of the land area of England, or about 58% of agricultural land. Much of grade 4 and 5 land is in upland areas that are unsuitable for solar developments. Andy Mayer, chief operation officer at the Institute of Economic Affairs think tank, said: “The government cannot on the one hand declare war on ‘the anti-growth coalition’, while on the other enforcing a right to veto developments, or waste time and money with excessive regulation. Farmers and green entrepreneurs are itching to provide solutions to the false claim that energy and food security cannot coexist. The City of London is ready to fund them.
