A proposed 200 acre solar farm near a Roman city in Silchester, UK is causing controversy. There are challenges meeting both energy needs and preserving historical sites. Quote “"We must not fall into the trap of thinking this is solar so it must be good. The situation is far more complex than that. At 200 acres this proposal is comparable in size to the whole of Bramley and is over twice the size of Silchester. As an industrial installation this proposal will change the nature and character of two rural communities forever as well as seriously impacting Roman archaeological remains that could have national significance." https://www.hampshirelive.news/news/hampshire-news/hundreds-oppose-plans-solar-panel-6953454 Edited February 26, 2023 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
