Hi Scubi, saw this in the news a couple of days ago from a Welsh paper...
Then forgot to watch Countryfile (should'nt change the hours around)... It has a lovely wild feel the Severn Estuary with the great tidal embankments, and I think it would be a shame to 'tame' it, looking at the Cardiff marina brings on a feeling that it would also be a mistake.
So what about green renewably energy? will it work for a start, the damming of water always has problems, silts, loss of marine life, and archaeology of course..
Milford Haven is setting up great storage tanks in their estuary to receive liquid gas from somewhere, which then requires a great pipeline across Wales, across the Brecon Beacon to Gloucester I think.
Its a difficult one, green renewable energy starts to look like another destroyer of the natural world...
There's an article from Britarch here as well
