Well managed Solar Farms increase biodiversity

We kind of knew this already, that far from being industrial landscapes that destroy nature and our countryside, solar farms are a net good - but I guess the key here is "well-managed"?

I hike through some farms in the Peak District. Mixed grazing of cows and sheep. I’m always stunned by the astonishing biodiversity. Even a cursory survey would find dozens of different plant and invertebrate species as well as small mammals.

Carbon negative too by the studies I’ve read about carbon sequestration.

I really don’t understand how we have allowedthe environmental movement to be hijacked by militant vegans aided by global corporations marketing “plant based” foods that are horrific for both the planet and human health.
