Food vs Solar

We now have a potential further set of solar farms and we have new a new figure for the total poential coverage:

Camblesforth—180 acres—already happening

Drax————-140 acres—already happening

Helios scheme at Camblesforth and villages—1,200 acres—in the hands of the secretary of state

Hillam——100 acres—decision to be made by NYCC

Light Valley Solar—5 sites totalling over 2,500 acres—- just announced and probably another government decision

So that is around 4,200 acres. You can produce around 4 tonne of corn on an acre, so that is the amount you are potentially taking out of our food supply each year for the next 40 years. Now bearing in mind we used to get a lot from Ukraine which was the major producer in europe, where do we go for it now!!? Why do you think Russia wants Ukraine? Why are the Chinese buying up land in France? Could it be we need food in order to live?

So as we get busy making electricity to heat our homes and power our cars, they get busy making food.
