An enormous scar': the battle over solar farms and pylons as Reform UK takes aim at net zero
Briefly

Lincolnshire is crucial to the government's strategy for a green re-industrialisation aimed at achieving net zero goals, generating employment, and rejuvenating disadvantaged regions. The plan encompasses transforming ports into industrial hubs for the offshore wind sector and developing carbon capture technology. Additionally, solar panels are set to cover farmland and former coal plant sites while new infrastructures like pylons will connect North Sea windfarms to the grid. Nonetheless, the economic climate and the rise of Reform UK, which opposes net zero policies, pose challenges to this vision.
