More details

As an island, and a once indepedant island, we need to our farmland to produce food. Raising meat, growing crops and feeding the british people with british food, we cannot eat solar panels. There is more than enough roof top space in cities and towns to accomodate enough solar panels. Stop placing them in farmland and put them on the roofs of all public building, buildings over 5 storeys tall, all large capacity buildings and all carparks
