Solar Farms.

Are solar farms really this bad?

  • I do wonder if part of the problem here is the way we tend to concentrate things like solar panels and wind turbines.  My wife is Swedish and where we tend to stay when (we're allowed to!) visiting relatives you can see a fair few wind turbines in the surrounding countryside, but it's maybe 3 here, 1 there, another 2 somewhere else.  It's not 100 in a single field which is obviously going to be more visible!

    I fully appreciate that Sweden is different to the UK and that there are indeed advantages to putting a lot of something in one place.  I just wonder whether a larger number of much smaller generation points might be a more acceptable alternative?
