I don’t know how often I’ve recommended something to someone and when they reported back got some version of what he writes about here. Read all you want to about where you’re going but know yourself well enough to follow your own nose in your own time. (Scott Monaco)
Quote: “In March 2023, a council-backed mine water heat network went live, using a six-megawatt water-source heat pump to draw warmth from flooded mine workings roughly 150 meters below the town. The heat is distributed through more than five kilometers of pipe to about 350 homes, plus Gateshead College, the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and other buildings. The U.K. government says the initiative will save 72,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide over 40 years.”

Quote for the day
