The Coalition Government has reportedly decided not to back the Severn barrage, the world's biggest tidal energy project.

According to The Guardian, the Government will announce this month its decision not to back the £15 billion to £20 billion tidal energy project, which would represent the UK's biggest single source of green energy, generating five per cent of the country's electricity. The newspaper said, instead, ministers are set to recommend further feasibility studies for one of four much smaller tidal projects.
