He plans to build the world's largest tidal power plant
The plan to build a tidal power plant has been submitted to the authorities and it is considered to be the largest tidal power plant in the world.
The project is groundbreaking because it can provide renewable energy for 120,000 homes in Swansea (Wales) for 120 years.
Swansea Bay is expected to invest around US $ 1.2 to 1.4 billion in this project. In the future, tides can provide 10% of electricity to the UK.

This program allowed the construction of a road like a solid wall around Swansea Bay in the Sevenrn Estuary lagoon area that contained turbines that operated continuously for 14 hours / day.
If this project is successful, there will be another 5 projects to continue to be built around the coast of England to provide 10% of electricity by 2023.
Tidan Lagoon Power Co., Ltd., in charge of the project, said that 65% of the project's expenditure comes from not only Britain but also foreign funding when it exports technology.
The interesting thing about the project is that it also created a 10km marine coral reef that helped develop Swansea Bay's specialty oyster species and helped develop three water sports.
The Daily Mail reported that it has received the support of 86% of local residents with this ecological project. When the project is completed, at least 236,000 tons of emissions will be harmful to the environment and create 1,850 construction jobs and at least 150 executive jobs.
According to Tidal Lagoon Power executive director Mark Shorrock, the success of this project will help the UK not need to build nuclear power plants even if it is a new generation.
Daily Mail said that if the plan is approved, the final decision will come from the Minister of Energy and Resources Wales in early 2015 and large-scale tidal currents will be available in 2018.
