And yes, I did have both in my back yard. Not so sure about the new place yet.

We have two wind farms on the hills close to my town think they look great when they are all turning.
Solar farms can be well hidden so i don't see why people get so uptight about them
They are a blight on the landscape
As i said we have two high on the hills near me i see one once a week for about 5 minutes as i drive past hardly a blight on the landscape, i suppose if i had bought a house on one of the nearby hills with with panoramic views and someone decided to put a wind farm right in the middle of it i might moan but i don't and neiher do most of the people who moan about them.
Love this.

It’s a no brainer. Only green hydrogen and nuclear can get us out of the hole we’re in. Solar and wind are the backbone while the rest of the tech catches up. Tidal is not yet providing the kind of output solar and wind are and it’s likely to have marine impacts.People have invested a lot of money in Millipedes dreams, hope the greedy feckers don't lose it
The NIMBY’s can’t see the seabed so they’ll probably get right behind Tidal, until the lack crustaceans on their favourite restaurant menus comes back to bite them in the backside.

The only thing of relevance in this link is an advert for solar panels
It’s the prelude to a proper introduction of an explanation of an argument. It has zero actual content beyond the headline.
But hey, that’s the internet and this is how it works these days
So killing the enviroment of little furry creatures is of little relevance, well thats ok then
In all seriousness Rod, I can only see one paragraph. Is there more?
And don’t get me started on the current rate of species extinctions. I’d be generally interested to see what BSc Jessica Taylor has to say on the topic, and her sources.
If we believe the climate change experts time is running out and fast and we don't seem to be making changes fast enough to stop it (again i say if you are a believer) if we don't get our act together and soon all living things could be in danger when it gets to that stage it'll be survival of the fittest and little critters wont get a second thought.
@Rodcx500z Also, nowhere in the paragraph I can see does she mention furry creatures, or killing environments. It’s all conjectures, suppositions and vague statements like “uncharted territory” and “tested to the limits” without any attempt to qualify the arguments.
Unless there’s a big reveal I’d file this article under toilet paper, only it wasn’t particularly absorbing.

Ok i give up i am going having a beer 
I’m already having a beer. I’m also always looking to challenge my views and change them when the evidence is there. To paraphrase Neil deGrass Tyson, science doesn’t care what you believe.
Don’t give up, look for evidence that both supports and counters your current viewpoint. Appraise both and construct arguments for each side. Weigh them up and test your assumptions. Then have another beer!

Trouble is that the places where people want to put solar farms in the UK are in the south and east as that's where it's most sunny, but that's also where the best farmland is and Grade 1 land growing wheat can produce something like 50x the calories/acre of a typical sheep farm. Now Grade 1 land can produce more sheep than the average hill farm, but there's still no comparison to what it can produce under cereals. People don't appreciate just how much better prime farmland is compared to the average, and it seems ... suboptimal to take it out of cereal production in favour of PV, which is the usual choice in this country.Cows don’t like solar farms but sheep love them. The grass that manages to grow is perfect for grazing and the panels offer ready made shelter. An added benefit is that lamb and hoggit are fabulous proteins, and even mutton is great if you make a curry hot enough to hide the flavour
If companies are not allowed to put them in the South and East for that reason i am sure they will agree to put them elsewhere.
If the amount of solar panels that the council is putting on their houses round here is anything to go by South Cumbria is a great place for solar
A new study shows Earth may hold an untapped energy source — trillions of tons of hydrogen gas buried deep beneath the surface.
Best of all? It could power the world for centuries on end.
According to research led by Geoffrey Ellis of the U.S. Geological Survey, these hidden reserves could provide enough energy to reduce global reliance on fossil fuels for 1,000 years.
Formed naturally through geochemical processes, this geologic hydrogen is estimated to total around 6.2 trillion tons (5.6 trillion metric tons), with significant potential to serve as a low-carbon energy resource.
While hydrogen reserves have already been identified in places like Albania and Mali, researchers believe similar deposits exist worldwide. However, much of this hydrogen is likely buried too deep or located offshore, making large-scale extraction a challenge. Even so, the study, published in Science Advances, suggests that tapping into just 2% of the estimated reserves could meet the world’s hydrogen needs for 200 years, helping achieve net-zero carbon goals.
The energy contained in these reserves exceeds that of all proven natural gas deposits, highlighting the potential of hydrogen as a clean alternative. However, experts like Prof. Bill McGuire of University College London warn that developing the infrastructure to extract hydrogen at scale would require a massive global effort. Despite these challenges, the study underscores the need for further research into geologic hydrogen, which could play a critical role in the transition to sustainable energy
