Coal is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions in the world.

So it probably doesn’t come to mind when you think about clean energy.

But now, long-disused coal mines across the world are being repurposed to heat our homes and offices.

    When we finally solve all the "climate" problems, I wonder what new eco-doom religion will spring up in it's place?

    I am sharing here so that everyone should know.
    In Sri Lanka, Prakas, Priyandan,
    Shantharuban and the Sri Lankan Muslims are disobeying God and making many people's bodies unable to keep their eyes and heads.

    Investigate them and take immediate action against them.

    Sri Lankan Muslim doctors must tell the truth.

    Can coal mines create clean energy? It would be wonderful if it could

    Instead of burning coal, UK now burns Canadian forests. Seems reasonable.

    Whilst man has been chopping down forests for firewood,digging up coal,drilling in oceans for oil,all to produce energy…….the plants,for billions of years, have sat there,wondering why we didn’t just do the same as them…….AND USE RENEWABLES !
    Creating electricity from solar,wind and tidal is so simple that in a few years we will do just that……store it in batteries and use it to heat our homes and even drive our cars.
    KEEP TELLING THEM JUST STOP OIL.

    Old coal mine shafts typically collapse after a number of years. My uncles house fell into one eventually due to this process of collapse in South Yorkshire.

    In reality, the pipes would be crushed and fractured by this process over time. It really isn't a feasible answer to our energy needs apart from a very localised heat source if your facility is right over the shaft and it is very near the surface. Also, the cost of the process is not revealed in the video. The heat is not 'free'. There is very significant capital and running costs involved in this process.

    Wake up people. All these stories are almost anecdotes only for us to feel good, but this is cheating on our own game. We are burning coal, gas and fossil fuels for more than 80% of our consumptions.
