Letter | The silence on housing plan for solar farm spot says a lot

I would like to take the opportunity to thank Stuart Pearson for his excellent thoughts and perspective on the proposed solar farm at Eglinton.

So much for those objecting to the solar farm on grounds of using prime agricultural land and the destruction of the trees and vegetation.

A huge housing estate would be far more detrimental to prime agricultural land than a solar farm.

An advantage of a solar farm is the opportunity to carry on with agricultural pursuits such as sheep breeding. This is very evident on Tom Warren's solar farm at Dubbo.

It was interesting to learn those objecting to the solar farm had not objected to a housing estate on this valuable land.

I can only wish Neoen all the best for a successful future in their quest to build the Windradyne Solar Farm.
