Newcastle Hopes To Go Geothermal

A project has just started in Newcastle, UK which may bring geothermal energy to a large part of the city.

Engineers are drilling a 2000 metre borehole which scientists from local universities hope can be used to heat water to 80 degrees C and provide heating for large numbers of buildings in the city centre.

The £900k project is set to be completed this June. If it works as expected, it could be a model for cities across the UK, if not the world.
