"Mr President, on Wednesday the British Government will publish its energy Green Paper, which was leaked over the weekend in Britain’s press – in particular
.
If those reports are accurate, the nuclear industry will be raised from the dead in the name of environmental protection, but, more importantly for Europe, there will be a commitment to the first big sustainable non-CO2-emitting energy scheme in Europe, namely the Severn tidal barrage. This, at a cost of EUR 15 to 20 billion, will produce up to 8% of Britain’s energy needs, control the consequences of climate change in the estuary, provide much needed employment in the south-west and Wales, bring new roads and railway crossing points and will be an enormous boost to the local economy’s water-based leisure activities. I hope we can welcome this on behalf of Europe."@en1
