He does have a point. What if the Russians steal our clean air. Or even the French. Can never trust the French.
The French wouldnāt want it. They like the smell of Gitanes and garlic and patisserie and Marie Brizard.

ā¦plans to redevelop the estuary to generate electricity, at a cost per MWh of almost double any comparable low carbon energy sourceā¦
The potential destruction of what is one of the UKās most important wetland habitats is so poorly thought out it would be funny if it were not such a dangerously reckless scheme to even contemplate.
ā¦ Rivers flowing into The Wash deposit large amounts of sediment into the shallow estuary, making it one of the least suitable sites for the development of tidal power. About twenty per cent of Englandās landmass is drained by rivers flowing into the estuary ā¦

It wonāt happen, zero support locally and zero funding available, as you know itās been trialled in the past and found unfeasibly expensive and harder to engineer than it first appears.
From the economic argument POV, what the area needs is improved rail and road links - all of which could be done by upgrading existing routes, and more wind power - well out to sea.

Similar up here on morecambe bay. I can see the functionality of man made tidal reservoirs, but blocking natural drainage systems over mudflats seems barking.
Suprised that the Bristol channel scheme hasnāt been resurrected recently, that one is trotted out every ten years or so.
