UK electricity demand is down 20% since 2012, and continuing on a downward trend.
Changes away from more polluting energy sources to meet this reduced demand is a good thing.
This is replacing agricultural fields. Solar panels allow for a drastic increase in biodiversity over crop monocultures. It's an improvement on the metrics you care about as well as in energy production.
Also, don't assume my position on industrialised society.
