REFORM AGAINST NET ZERO – STOP THE SOLAR LAND GRAB! 🚨
Say NO to Solar Farms on Farmland – Protect Our Food, Countryside & Energy Security
A 600 MW Solar Farm & 400 MW Battery Site at Thorne & Moorends? NO THANKS!
Developers want to cover nearly 5,000 acres of farmland with industrial-scale solar panels and hazardous battery storage. This is not about clean energy—it’s about corporate greed, land destruction, and higher bills for British families.
TRUTH ABOUT INDUSTRIAL SOLAR FARMS 🔥
❌ 1. HIGHER ENERGY BILLS FOR CONSUMERS
🔺 UK households already pay £450 per year in hidden green energy levies.
🔺 This project requires more taxpayer-funded subsidies just to be viable.
🔺 Grid upgrades (£80M+) will be passed onto consumers—meaning HIGHER bills!
🔺 Solar farms rely on backup fossil fuels, making electricity even more expensive.
❌ 2. THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF FARMLAND LOST FOREVER
🔺 UK food production is declining—and the government wants to sacrifice more land?
🔺 Over 4,800 acres of prime farmland destroyed—that should be growing food, NOT solar panels!
🔺 Countries like France & the USA are banning solar on farmland—why aren’t we?
🔺 Developers profit from subsidies, while the UK relies more on food imports.
❌ 3. ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE & BATTERY STORAGE RISKS
🔺 Located near Thorne Moors, a protected peatland vital for absorbing CO₂.
🔺 Solar farms disrupt wildlife, harming birds, pollinators, and biodiversity.
🔺 Lithium-ion battery storage is a FIRE HAZARD—do we want toxic fires near our community?
🔺 Over 90% of solar panels & batteries ARE NOT RECYCLED, leading to hazardous waste.
❌ 4. SOLAR & BATTERIES CAN’T KEEP THE LIGHTS ON!
🔺 Solar only works 12-15% of the time—and produces zero power at night.
🔺 Battery storage lasts just a few hours, meaning we still need fossil fuels.
🔺 UK blackouts and grid instability are
increasing—this won’t fix the problem!
✅ A BETTER SOLUTION: NUCLEAR SMRs!
Instead of wasting billions on inefficient solar farms, we should invest in Small Modular Reactors (SMRs):
💡 One 600 MW SMR generates 6x MORE electricity than this entire solar project.
📏 SMRs take up only 50-100 acres, compared to nearly 5,000 acres for solar.
⚡ SMRs provide reliable 24/7 electricity—solar is intermittent and weak.
💷 Lower long-term costs—no reliance on endless subsidies!
🔎 Want to reduce bills and secure energy? Nuclear is the answer!
