I Like Solar Power

I get why some in the UK complain about fields covered over with solar panels. But I also think that they're preferable to pumping tons more carbon into the atmosphere: yes of course making them isn't that cheap and also is clearly polluting but overall they're better than non-renewable alternatives.

We have installed solar panels on the roof of the house (which merely heat water.....and work well even in winter!), and also ones for electrical power at the back of a field near the house, that we own. No they're not stunningly beautiful but I think we can look on them wherever they are an eyesore as something to be proud of. The alternative is to not use so much energy, which given there are now so many human beings around, is kind of shutting the stable door after the proverbial horse has bolted!

They had lots of orchards in stoke where I grew up, not stoke on Trent, the little village in medway, anyway I digress, they got rid of all the apples and pear trees, now it's a solar farm! I think it looks really cool in s way, all futuristic and shit, but apparently they make more money farming energy than selling fruit

@Jogadnbyt that is actually a shame, since those apple and pear trees are turning Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen, Solar Panels don't do that.
@PikachuTrainer bollocks ain't it, used to love scrumping up there as a kid

@Jogadnbyt Trees are nicer than solar panels but I also agree with you it looks kind of cool (plus you can often have say sheep in the field too, depending on the design, or other wildlife, perhaps restoring meadows)
@DaySpider couldn't believe it miles of tress all replaced with these panels, what a world,!
