I seem to have come across as a nimby in my comment…

I’d happily pay less on my bill if it meant gas no longer set the price of electricity in the UK, even if it did mean covering loads of arable land in panels.

It still doesn’t mean they aren’t bleak to look at.

I get why people don’t like them. I get why people don’t want a wind turbine on every peak in the Cambrian hills.

Personally I’d rather have the latter - sparse but huge industrial objects - than the widespread low level monotony of a solar farm.

Unfortunately we need both.
