Solar panels belong on rooftops not on farmland.

Stop destroying the rural landscape with solar power stations.Solar panels belong on rooftops or buildings.We need agricultural land to grow crops or graze livestock once the land is degraded by solar panels it is lost for future generations.

Why is this important?

We only have one planet and we need to protect this precious resource from corporations who want to profit from a land grab. At the present time rural communities are deluged by applications from power companies whose aim is to industrialise the countryside with their solar power stations euphemistically called “farms”.
