Petition Stop building solar/wind farms until a cost-benefit analysis is made public
Publish a thorough nationwide cost-benefit analysis of the construction of solar and wind farms, and make the subsequent report public. Analysis must include environmental, economic, social, and health costs, and include comparison of alternative energy e.g. nuclear.
More details
There appears to have been no nationwide cost-benefit analysis made available to the public for scrutiny. We think it is highly likely this analysis has never been done. In our view, the government is replacing hundreds of thousands of acres of green land with hundreds of thousands of tonnes of metal, plastics and concrete, and it is doing all this without the explicit permission of its citizens and, seemingly, without any understanding whatsoever of the net impact. One of the biggest transformations of Britain must be understood by the public.
