Severn Lake™ News

The latest news on The Severn Lake™ project, which covers the development of the causeway, the lake and accompanying services.

May 2010

The Severn Lake Company has received some most disturbing correspondence regarding the feasibility study being carried out by Parsons Brinckerhoff on the Cardiff - Weston Energy Causeway (the old Severn Barrage).

One of the world's most eminent scientists on turbine technology, Mr Alexander Gokhman of California, who himself holds world patents on existing and emerging turbine innvations, has written to the government with his deep concerns that Parsons Brinckerhoff are looking at 1970s technologies with suspect data.

Does the government want to kill off Renewable Energy from the Severn?

In the feasibility launch in Bristol in 2009, Ed Milliband for the government and Jane Davidson for the W.A.G., promoted a fund for emerging technologies to be a part of this exciting project. It seems on the face of it that Parsons Brinckerhoff have no intention of looking at anything other than dinosaurs in mouse wheels.

Our company, has, on numerous occasions asked Parsons Brinckerhoff to consider ebb and flow technology for greater efficiency, double that which they are considering to no avail.

If this study is flawed, a renewable energy resource of 7% UK needs will, for only political - not practical - reasons have been killed off.

WHY?

Copy of letter to Jonathan Porritt:

Dear Mr. Porrit.

I am deeply concerned that the Feasibility Study may be nobbled. I am in receipt of letters to Mr. Milliband, which casts doubt on the data and current turbine information used by Parsons Brinckerhoff in assessing the viability of the Cardiff Weston Energy Causeway.

As you have been a strong fan of this project, I would appreciate it if you would make some inquiries of your own.

Regards,

Gareth Woodham
'Founder of the Severn Lake'

After a competition between architects in Cardiff, we present 'The Severn Lake Airport' (see video below). Full details about the airport plan are here on Burnham-On-Sea.com.
