[QUOTE="snarling bee, post: 7478215, member: 681"] Obviously the picture of my £15,000 car is upsetting a few people, the electric Kia is worth 2x that. I would have thought the idea of renewables is to have a mix, and include batteries in there too. Tidal only works twice a day, unless huge dams are used; wave and wind is only when its windy (but not too windy), solar only works when the sun is out, biomass/bioethanol is questionable. Thanks to the planners my solar park cannot be grazed as there was a height restriction placed on them. There are plenty of comments on here about farming being f@@ked, so I have taken the opportunities that came my way, sorry about that. Only 35% of what you see is subsidised, the other 65% is completely unsubsidised. In terms of disposal, then we will have to see what happens, but unless a panel gets broken I can't see the need to dispose of them for decades, unless the financials stack up to replace the whole lot which would include a disposal or recycling cost. I suppose sh!t can happen, but I'd rather have a go than sit on my backside, do nothing, and then moan about the farm not making enough money for decades. I also have an array on a grainstore roof if that helps, and the farm connection will take no more. [/QUOTE]
