Britain To Build World’s Largest Tidal Power Station
- Conventional hydroelectric dams generate electricity from the flow of water due to terrestrial gravity, while the Severn dam will benefit from tidal flow (which is due to lunar gravity).
- Of course, Britain also wants to build a bunch of new coal and nuclear power plants, and most Brits think that global warming is a hoax. So it shouldn’t come as any surprise that they want to capture the tidal energy of the Severn Estuary the stupid way instead of the right way.
