Andy Mayer quoted in City AM
IEA Chief Operating Officer and Energy Analyst Andy Mayer has been quoted in City AM on reports that the government is considering tightening planning laws around solar farms in “the middle of an energy and growth crisis.”
Andy was quoted:
“They claim it’s about food security, but the UK depends on trade for half our food, and modern tastes are geared towards many things we will never grow. It’s really about nimbyism. The Government, whatever they say at climate summits, are more worried by angry resident associations than warmer summers.”
