Net zero and prosperity.

Ok that’s interesting. Do you have some numbers to back that up. The Tory Boy said this…

It would help this discussion immensely if you sought sources other than a Tory MP for your information. Leave your tribe for a moment, put down your pitchfork, this isn't a culture war.

Production per capita has decreased because demand per capita has plummeted. By almost a 3rd over the last 24 years. In large part because of energy efficiency laws, insulation, you know, all that "woke" bollocks you get weirdly irate about. Now imagine for a moment we hadn't reduced demand by a third and there weren't cheaper renewables supplying the grid, what do you think that would have done to household bills over the last few years?

Haven't we also outsourced all our energy production rather than investing in it?

Like everything else.

Not all, we're trying to outsource food production so we can put solar everywhere. Idiots.

Crops can be grown perfectly well under solar panels. They result in a higher yield and less need for watering.

Italy are going hard on agrivoltaic farming atm. The last auction was massively over subscribed.

So now you are agreeing that we. HAVE reduced energy generation? But that’s because demand has fallen. Good job Tory boy is here to fact check what you say really. 😂

Your agrovotaic farming looks to be fields with sheep and solar panels in them mate, a fancy name for sure but it's still cluttering up the countryside with cables and crap.

One problem with sheep in solar fields is the farmer doesn't notice as easy that their sheep have fallen over and need tipping back on their feet. If you do ever see a sheep on its back please go and sort it out, the farmer will be grateful and probably won't shoot you for trespassing.

Can't see any combines fitting down there. Maybe a forage wagon at a push.

Solar should be on roofs or on top of car parks.

So we need less electricity, and almost 50% of that comes from cheap renewables. What exactly are you so upset about?

That's not a real picture of an agri PV panel mate.

Get it right Kev.

I don't get why there isn't a national push to put solar on all rooftops throughout the country. That way we ain't disturbing wildlife. Quite amusing that I got shot down for such a suggestion before.
