Some rare good news from the eco wars: it looks increasingly likely that a lunatic green project to build a £1 billion tidal lagoon across Swansea Bay in South Wales is going to be scrapped. Or so reckons Christopher Booker who has been on its case from the start. If it still goes ahead, the Swansea Tidal Lagoon (pictured) will produce the world's most expensive electricity – at a massively taxpayer-subsidised £168 per megawatt hour: over three times the going rate – while changing forever the character of the bay and causing all manner of disruption to the local wildlife.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_lagoon_manmade.jpg
