Notable that my local Tory MP James Gray who has for a long time been ideologically opposed to solar farms lost his seat to a Lib Dem by a hefty margin.

Absolutely damning post mortem on recent Conservative governments' climate efforts from Climate Change Committee. Two years wasted that have undermined UK energy security, competitiveness, and climate action. And all for zero political gain. businessgreen.com/news/4336859/m…

This sentence is obscene. Why are we punishing the people trying to prevent disaster while allowing the oil company giants causing it to reap super profits? Chris Packham

Today 5 people who care about our planet have been viciously sentenced under laws that remove our right to peaceful protest. So I came to join those who stand in solidarity. We cannot put people behind bars for urging us to do what we know is right. #WholeTruth5

Loving the guy on the left. Astutely wearing a balaclava to make totally sure that no-one could possibly find any way of identifying him

I'm driving on sunshine! ☀️🚗 But what's best, biodiesel or electricity? Fuel from 1 hectare of oilseed crop = <18,000 miles of driving. BUT Electricity from 1 ha of solar PV = 2,000,000 miles in an electric car! ☀️⚡🚗 !!! 🤯 The solar/EV electric combo is incredible!

Solar panels and farms go together superbly. Politicians shouldn’t be telling farmers and landowners what they can do with their own land. Farmers know best.

The impact this would actually have on food security is so minuscule as to be laughable. Anyone actually serious about improving food security would be looking at encouraging people to eat a bit less meat, investing in more climate resilient agriculture, and banning golf courses.

Will solar PV soon be the cheapest source of electricity in most places around the world? This Nature Communications paper says yes. Most surprisingly this is AFTER including short- and long-term storage costs for renewable energy sources. nature.com/articles/s4146…
