The original proposed site was from East pier diagonally across Swansea
bay to an area not far from existing County Hall.
This was what went through environmental reviews etc.
However they then built a new university campus West of Swansea .... and
suddenly the whole project is moved to run from Queens dock wall (West
of river mouth) to the the beach area opposite the (now closed) Fords
factory.

If it were to proceed there should be a full review of environmental
impact, in my opinion it is too small to be worthwhile.
Much is made of the leisure aspects of the tidal lagoon .... it needs to
be much bigger.

If it were to go ahead far better that it went right across Swansea bay
from original start point of Eats pier - over to West Cross ........ a
huge natural bay.
However I do not think funds will ever be raised for this.


Last announcements,were that the private company (in it for the money`)
wanted government to guarantee a fixed price per MWh .... higher level
than that for Nuclear.

All just makes no sense to me ...... especially as it was going to a
Chinese company for construction - this should be British jobs
