Sunak and Truss are wrong about solar

Rishi Sunak has joined Liz Truss in grumbling about solar panels in fields. This is all rather dismaying, and revealing. It suggests that Conservative leadership contenders – and the party faithful they’re appealing to – lack faith in the transformative power of markets and free enterprise.

Those solar panels that Sunak and Truss deplore are nothing less than an economic miracle, delivered by private companies seeking profit.
