Plans to Build Tidal Energy Power Station in Swansea Wales

The video discusses a proposed tidal energy project off the coast of Swansea, aiming to generate power for over 100,000 homes. Swansea is chosen for its large tidal range, offering significant untapped energy potential. The project promises economic benefits and job creation but faces environmental concerns, particularly from the Wildlife Trust. The initiative is part of a broader plan to create a network of lagoons around the British coast, potentially supplying 10% of the UK's electricity needs. Despite challenges, the project aims to balance energy production with ecological preservation.
