It wouldn't be legal to build Rance in the EU today, because of the enormously disruptive effects on the local ecosystem. It's not something that bothers me personally, but it's a total dealbreaker in a country like the UK where wildlife activists hold considerably more political sway that climate activists.

But it had the merit of being ambitious. [1] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-41213528 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-41213528
