Severn Estuary - Energy At Any Price?

The Wildlife Trusts have published a new report - Energy At Any Price - highlighting the vital importance of the Severn Estuary. Not just for wildlife but people too. As the Government considers different proposals for harnessing the immense natural tidal power to create electricity, The Wildlife Trusts say damming the Estuary with an old-fashioned barrage would have a devastating impact. Instead, the Government should commit to investigating a range of modern, low-impact technologies.

The Wildlife Trusts believe three innovative options hold the most promise. The decision should be taken on the basis of causing least environmental damage and being most cost-effective. The Wildlife Trusts want to ensure the chosen option will not be something society regrets in decades to come.

This is so important, fixing one problem and creating another is not the way to go. We as humans can be smarter than that, we have to find a way to make energy and not destroy the ground under our feet as we do it. Great film BTW.
