A few snaps of nearly 100 solar panels being installed on the roof of County Hall 😍 DCC has a target of 2025 to become Net-Zero carbon and solar energy is one of the most efficient ways of doing so 👍 #DevonCarbonPlan #ClimateEmergency #SaveThePlanet #SolarPower pic.twitter.com/3BvsKShusw— Devon County Council (@DevonCC) January 24, 2020
These panels could reduce Devon County Council’s CO2 emissions by around 12 tonnes per year.
If Aggregate Industries’ plans for Straitgate were permitted, however, it would take these panels almost 400 years to offset the CO2 pumped out by the company’s multi-million mile haulage scheme – by which time large parts of our land mass will have been long under water, whether in Devon or New York.
