"Senior politicians in Wales and Westminster say a ?15bn plan to build a barrage across the Severn Estuary could help solve the growing energy crisis.
First Minister Rhodri Morgan and Welsh Secretary Peter Hain have backed plans for a barrage over the Bristol Channel. "
Not sure Peter Hain will still be there to push this through

The Police are wanting to grill him.
gus horsley said:I was talking to the head honcho at Slimbridge WWT at the weekend about the barrage. He was pretty dismissive about it - said that it was the umpteenth time the idea had been put forward and he suspected that the two year consultation would prove that, yet again, it was unviable.
whitelackington said:Hello Gus,
just thought I'd pop over and say hello.
By the way have "they" built it yet?
whitelackington said:...which has come under fire from environmental groups.
ChrisJC said:That sort of statement always amuses me. Do these eejits understand that doing nothing is not an option? They seem to be anti any kind of anti-global-warming measures. So they must be pro global warming.... Like that will help the environment!
Chris.
But compromise will only happen if all sides of the argument are heard, n'est ce pas?Elaine said:I think that the right thing is never going to be possible. Compromise is much more important.

Let's get some nuclear power stations built....pronto! They don't affect wildlife much except that gulls like the warmer water, they don't put much into the atmosphere, and the waste can now be safely disposed of. What's the problem?
(Stands back and waits for the backlash).

Hello Gus, haven't you heard, after half a century
"they" still do not know what to do with the radioactive waste.
Perhaps you'd like it tipped down a Cornish Shaft?

Elaine said:This in itself is understandable, but we always seem to come to the same stalemate and carry on burning fossil fuels because it means we all still have a nice view from our front room window, and the lesser spotted yellow wag finches are still alive and hopping around.
I think we should get on with this barrage and forget about poisonous nuclear power.whitelackington said:It is back on the government's agenda.

Five projects have been selected from 10 examined over the last six months.
Among these is a 10-mile barrage proposal from Lavernock Point, Vale of Glamorgan, to Somerset, which has come under fire from environmental groups.
