The BBC charter section 6.4: "...the BBC should accurately and authentically represent and portray the lives of the people of the United Kingdom today, and raise awareness of the different cultures and alternative viewpoints that make up its society"

These comments came from ostensibly left/liberal people, too. Feels very similar to the anti-solar farm people here and in the states, who often present as worried progressives.

An oddly widespread belief in my little corner of rural Scotland is that wind farms are bad for the environment (I heard the other day that "they should be called wind factories, not farms") because of their size and the amount of materials involved. These same people have wood burning stoves.

Coffee farms have been increasingly intensified since the 1970s, with shade trees removed to boost production. But coffee plants do better under shade. Farmers, meanwhile, face ever rising fuel costs. What if there was a solution to both problems? Enter agrivoltaics.

It's hard to overstate the degree to which solar power is now "cheap" in places with low labor costs. In first-world countries the panels and other equipment are now a small fraction of total system costs
