Do both.
And if solar parks are built near villages or towns, then offer the people who are potentially affected free electricity to offset their concerns.
Solar panels are not nuclear power stations. They can be removed with little environmental impact and can actually benefit biodiversity.

The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

Graceless, insensitive, unfounded. President Trump demonstrates, with this, exactly why Rob Reiner called him unfit for office.

If you happen to be in Reading with a free evening this week, come and see me in the joyous bloodfest that is Titus Andronicus at Progress Theatre. Unspeakable violence and some banging tunes, just as Shakespeare intended.

It's simple, if you throw paint on a plane then you get proscribed and any 80 year olds defending you get arrested.
If you ask people to burn down hotels, and they try, you get an interview in the Telegraph and positive coverage in the BBC.
That's sensible, proportionate policing.

“Irrational?” What’s irrational about this?
I have this irrational thing where if I do a task (like send a message) I think that should be all the work I do on that task for a day. Then I get mad if the person replies. Like, that's tomorrow's job.

⚠️ Climate change is an increasing threat to world safety.
The heatwave sweeping Europe is not just the new reality, but has been the lived reality for much of the developing world over the 2020's.
The consequence of inaction is here. And here to stay.

Here’s a quick take on why we get so complacent about the climate crisis: “1 or 2 degré doesn’t sound too bad!”
1°C of global warming does NOT mean that heatwaves 'just' get hotter by 1°C.
Over large parts of the UK, global warming means that heatwaves are 3-4°C warmer, with worse consequences for people and ecosystems.
