A BRIDGE linking Jersey to France may be viable if enough electricity can be generated through wave and wind power.
Senior politicians from the Island and Normandy agreed yesterday to have further discussions on the idea of a bridge from Seymour Tower to near Blainville-sur-mer.
The bridge proposal incorporating a wind farm and tidal energy turbines has come from former Jersey Chamber of Commerce president Peter Walsh.
He believes that for around £1 billion, a bridge can be built and that private enterprise would take the risk if the project was underwritten by financial guarantees from the French and Jersey governments.
