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 simplyÂ* doesn'tÂ* work here.

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

If the suppliers can turn it off, they'll charge for it.
