This was proposed 30 years ago.
At the time it was estimated it would produce 7% of the UKs electricity.

Rejected due to finance with ridiculous forecasts for cost of capital and future electricity prices.

Probably would have actually paid for itself time and time again now

Our politicians have no thought beyond the next 3 years and no vision.
