🌞 Solar Farms: A Win for Nature? 🌱 Solar farms are set to occupy just 0.3% of UK land by 2035, but their potential impact is vast. While some oppose large-scale developments, research shows solar farms can boost biodiversity, support pollinators, and enhance habitats if managed well. 🌼🐝 However, challenges remain, like impacts on certain species and land use debates. With smart policies linking solar growth to nature recovery, these farms could help combat climate change and biodiversity loss. 🌍💚 #Renewables #SolarEnergy #Biodiversity

Cornwall Insight's latest forecast shows that solar and wind will only account for 44% of the UK's power generation by 2030, falling short of the 67% needed for a zero-carbon system. Despite recent government actions to boost renewables, significant investments are required to meet net-zero targets. #RenewableEnergy #UKPolicy #NetZero
