This page will contain information on the Net Zero concept and how developments such as the proposed Monksfield Solar Farm (aka Chapel Hill Solar Farm) will contribute.
In the meantime, conscious that (as of 18/05/2025) we are about to receive some publicity from BBC Hereford and Worcester, along with that from the banners we are placing along the A449 between Malvern and Worcester, we thought it worth providing some preliminary information.
A teaser…
The video below is from Professor Ian Plimer, a professor emiritus from the Unversity of Melbourne speaking on behalf of the Institute of Public Affairs. Whilst speaking about energy matters in Australia, we urge you to think about how these relate to the Net Zero concept in the UK.
Note for example, the reference to the Drax Power Station in Yorkshire. at 15m 00s in. How can cutting down forests in North America be good for climate and the environment? How can it be argued as cheaper if it requires millions of pounds of annual subsidy (via the tax payer)?
We don’t believe we are NIMBYs
The editor of this website is a person of independent thought – most of those thoughts he likes to back up with evidence. If you find something on this website that you would like to challenge, email us and we’ll look into it.
And even if we were NIMBYs, what is wrong with a person that cares about “Nature In My Back Yard”?
We are simply residents seeking to protect some traditional British countryside and heritage. Most of us don’t have properties directly affected by the development, we simply think it is wrong, on so many counts, to destroy forever, some beautiful British countryside in the setting of a national treasure, the Malvern Hills.
We can’t put all our material on our website as quickly as me might want to as we don’t have the marketing budget that multi-billon euro German company Rheinisch-Westfälisches Elektrizitätswerk (RWE) that wants to build this industrial scale development presumably has. We do it when we can.
This, by the way, is the same RWE that sues European governments for compensation as those governments’ climate change policies affect their mining businesses. False information or scare mongering? – well check this article out from SKY News.
