Summary
Liverpool authorities are proposing a tidal power project on the River Mersey that could power up to 1 million homes and generate thousands of jobs. The project is still in the concept phase, with options for a tidal barrage or lagoon, and concerns have been raised about its potential environmental impact. The project represents the UK's efforts to harness its coastline and become a force in the emerging marine energy sector, but significant work and funding will be needed to make it a reality.
