Sir John Houghton, a practicing Christian and a leading climate researcher, has called for the construction of a Severn Barrage to help reduce CO2 emmissions noting that the Government should just get on with it. He also comments that wind power should not be the top priority because it destroys the beauty of the countryside. IC Wales reports him saying.
"We should get on with it [developing tital power] because we could get 20% of our electricity from tidal energy... Wind is not the only solution, and it's not the top solution and we don't want to cover our landscape with wind farms....With tidal power you know when it's going to come and unlike wind it's very reliable....But the Government has not seemed very interested in tidal for reasons that I don't understand."
