I HAVE advocated for many years to our city leaders the great significance and financial benefits which could be achieve by the resurrection of the River Usk Barrage project, including a hydro electric system within the construction. Modern technology could make it possible to harness the River Usk, the second fastest rise and fall in the world. It would generate a tremendous amount of low-carbon, environment friendly, cheap electricity for our city, and this in turn would encourage inward investment into our city.
