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

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