Geothermal heating

[Nix]

Geothermal definitely the future, just look at what Iceland has been up to. Been meaning to dabble in it myself as I love the idea. Unfortunately Buxton is built on bedrock and drilling any deep holes is not on. Last summer had an interesting talk to a farmer who had a system installed on his field campsite to provide hot water and heating for his farmhouse, two cottages and all the shower blocks. Took a few acres of digging about 3 - 4 feet deep and cost a small fortune BUT he's a very happy bunny now that it's done and working. His biggest expense now is running the pump. I suggested powering the pump with either a wind turbine or solar array or both. I'll get an update next time I see him in Whitby.
