Crazy Ed Miliband wants to cover the countryside with hundreds of industrial scale solar farms.
Yesterday the combined 18 GW of solar capacity which we already have produced the princely total 3.1 GWh, having peaked at 0.7 GW at midday. That meant they were running on average at just 0.7% of their capacity.

Britain used 875 GWh yesterday, solar power supplied just 0.4%, enough for 5 minutes.
Is this what we are destroying our countryside for?
Final Thoughts
I suggest it is time we stopped calling them solar FARMS. They are not farms, and we should call them what they really are – SOLAR FACTORIES!
