Solar Farm

Take a look at this solar panel 'farm' down in Oxfordshire. Fields have been covered in swathes of huge panels to create electricity. Something tells me the locals will be mortified at this development as it hardly blends in with the countryside. They look even worse than wind turbines, which although can be seen from further away don't cover green fields in shiny dark glass.

I suppose one good thing is that it's not been concreted over and in theory the land can be returned to it's normal state at some point. I like solar energy but I think the panels should be put on roofs of large factories, office blocks, urban industrial parks etc and not in the middle of the countryside. Farm fields should be kept for growing food.
