There's a hint of irony around claims that Europe's biggest green solar farm could actually be harmful to the environment around us. It was inevitable that the Botley West Solar Farm scheme would receive strong opposition during its planning stage. Donald Trump might not be aware of the Botley West Solar Farm, but if he was he'd probably say it will hurt the birds, too. Mark Owen-Lloyd, director of Botley West Solar Farm, has said Oxfordshire needs clean power and the various transport and social benefits the solar farm would create. And then there's the classic age-old argument of how much energy can a solar farm actually create.
