Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon

Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon is a proposed renewable energy project in Wales that aims to generate electricity from the predictable rise and fall of tides. It would consist of a barrier across Swansea Bay, with turbines that activate as tides change, producing clean, sustainable power. This facility could provide a significant portion of the UK's renewable energy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions. The project also intends to create jobs and boost local economy, though it has faced debate over environmental impact and economic viability. It's an innovative approach to harnessing tidal energy for the benefit of the nation.
