Default Grauniad: Welsh tidal lagoon project could open way for ukp15bn revolution in UK energy

They continue with the misleading publicity for the output of the
proposed Cardiff scheme, claiming it will be 3,000MW, when in reality
this output will only occur for a limited period at peak tidal flow,
and averaged over a year the output will be a fifth of that, something
like 600MW. And it will be intermittent, on-off-on-off etc. four times
a day


Something like this would seem to be a better solution: cheaper, doesn't
block the bay, constant power, presumably lower impact on the
environment (if it doesn't do a Chernobyl). One issue would be a
transmission uplink to the grid which would still need to be built.

This caught my eye though: 300MWt and 75MWe. 25% efficiency? Seems
very low. What about primary containment, and corrosion caused by
seawater?

Some controversy in Russia about it:
