Trade body Solar Energy UK has published a new study of public attitudes towards solar development which finds that most people living near solar sites support the technology.

Journalist Andrew Neil weighed in on the UK’s solar output after the government ordered a coal-fired power plant to move to standby as energy demand soared in the summer heat. However, his pronouncements, based largely on a Telegraph article, lacked context and nuance. UK Editor John Lubbock explains why he is wrong about the UK solar sector.
