Still perhaps a window of oppertunity to go geothermal for the new power station ?

I read someplace that a UK university is researching on the same kind of technology they used in their PowerTube design, and it was only a few years ago the UK Government was giving away a grant of £5 million for folk to build geothermal plants in the UK.

So maybe a little bit of arm bending might get the government to help out a smidge again..
