MaxFusion Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 this site says it all really...http://www.geo-thermal.co.uk/ Ground source heating takes heat generated by the sun that's stored in the ground.(including bore holes up to 100m deep) Geothermal uses heat from the earths molten core.(way deeper than the bore holes up here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Bridgman-Elliot Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Still perhaps a window of oppertunity to go geothermal for the new power station ?Related link on closed loop geothermal technology:https://vimeo.com/21470296I 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..Related links:http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20110508074721/http:/www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/what_we_do/uk_supply/energy_mix/renewable/explained/geothermal/challenge_fund/dgcf_round1/dgcf_round1.aspxhttp://www.geomagmatica.comhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezpXmMuK758 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
