Re comment on Severn Barrage, agree that is probably "not on" but H
M Government seem to consider Tidal Ponds as a competitor to Nuclear
for Electricity Base Loads. Else why [is is rumoured] would they
threaten E.On with being barred from tendering for Nuclear if it
tendered for Tidal Ponds ?
Apart from the Swansea Tidal Ponds concepts, the E.Coast would seem an
ideal location for Tidal Ponds, acting as Coastal Erosion prevention
and fish farms as well, and as supports for "just off shore" wind
turbines.
There are several large areas of shallow water which might be
"exploitable" including The Wash, The Humber Estuary, parts of the
Thames Estuary and the Goodwin Sands which so I understand was an
island within a sea wall in 1066
