Forestry Act 1967
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

3A Use of land in connection with renewable electricity projects
(1) The Commissioners may— (a) use, or enter into arrangements in connection with the use of, English forestry land for the generation, storage, transmission or supply of renewable electricity; (b) sell, or enter into other arrangements concerning, renewable electricity generated, stored or supplied on, or transmitted across, English forestry land; (c) use, or enter into arrangements in connection with the use of, English forestry land for activity that— (i) is intended to satisfy, or enable the satisfaction of, a relevant condition of development (whether existing or contemplated), or (ii) otherwise arises in connection with such a condition. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(c), a relevant condition of development is a condition of development that— (a) relates to renewable electricity development located wholly or partly on English forestry land, and (b) is intended to benefit the natural environment of land. (3) The exercise of the powers in subsection (1) for either of the following purposes is to be taken to be consistent with the Commissioners’ general duty under section 1(2)— (a) facilitating or promoting the use of renewable electricity; (b) obtaining funds for meeting the expenses referred to in section 41(2). (4) When the Commissioners are considering the exercise of those powers, section 1(3A) applies as if it included a further paragraph referring to those purposes. (5) In this section— “condition of development” means— a condition to which planning permission is subject, or a requirement contained in an order granting development consent under the Planning Act 2008 (development consent for nationally significant infrastructure); “English forestry land” means land placed at the disposal of the Commissioners under this Act; “natural environment”, in relation to land, includes— its plants, animals and other living organisms, their habitats, and its geological features; “renewable electricity” means electricity produced from sources other than— coal, lignite, peat, natural gas, within the meaning of the Energy Act 1976, crude liquid petroleum, petroleum products, within the meaning of the Energy Act 1976, any substance produced directly or indirectly from a substance within paragraphs (a) to (f), energy derived from any substance within paragraphs (a) to (g), or nuclear fuel; “renewable electricity development” means development the main purpose of which is the generation, storage, transmission or supply of renewable electricity. (6) References in this section to the storage of electricity are to the storage of energy converted from electricity for the purpose of its reconversion into electricity.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
