Eco campaigners hit out at solar farms

The video discusses Burnt Stork Solar Farm in Norfolk, a large solar energy site powering 4,000 homes. It highlights the debate between renewable energy benefits and landscape impact, comparing solar farms to other energy sources like wind and nuclear. The UK government supports solar power expansion, aiming for 20 gigawatts annually by 2020. However, critics argue that using greenfield sites is unacceptable, similar to fracking and wind farm protests. Despite community concerns, developers continue due to government subsidies.
