What we want is a nice re-activated volcano in the lake district, we
could tap it for energy.

Weren't they playing with geothermal energy up in the NE a few years
ago ?

Many seem to have dabbled, but no headline news yet.


If it made remote economic sense it would have been done years ago.
waiting for government subsidies


I think the danger is that you end up - like Iceland - providing it to
everyone at very low prices. And we all know that just isn't how we like
to do things in England.

No, that isn't the danger.

Iceland has a low population and active volcanoes.

geothermal simply doesn't work here.

I think the pipes from Battersea power station to all those council
flats still exist...that was free energy...

But the greens have ensured that London has no power stations left. Not
even waste burners.
