Today David Brockbank, Chairman announced that "the research undertaken on tidal energy had concluded that there could be enough energy in Morecambe Bay to fuel 80% of the households in the North West". However he went on to stress that Bridge Across the Bay would aim "to extract no more than 10%" because of our commitment to "minimising the impact on the environment". The full research findings will be available soon at www.bridgeacrossthebay.org.uk Bridge Across The Bay will now enter into detailed discussions (using the reseach findings) with tidal turibine developers in UK and Overseas to progress their proposals for a bridge that produces renewable energy.

Hello

These are the ambitious goals of Bridge across the Bay, who aim to develop such a green bridge between Heysham and Barrow crossing Morecambe Bay in the North West of England.

We believe that by adapting the latest technologies to harness energy from tides, waves, wind and sun to we can generate significant amounts of renewable electricity with minimal environmental impact; and through using innovative and sustainable approaches we feel we can make this project environmentally and socially beneficial.

However this project is a marathon not a sprint. It will take at least 10 years to complete; with each stage involving long periods of research.

And we want to hear what people think. Setting up this Blog is another way of letting you know what is happening; you telling us what you think; exchanging ideas and information; etc.
