No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Flooded UK coalmines could provide low-carbon cheap heat ‘for generations’
Flooded UK coalmines could provide low-carbon cheap heat ‘for generations’
Report says proven technology could benefit thousands in poor quality housing and help UK meet carbon reduction targets
Flooded disused coalmines could be a significant source of energy and provide cheap heat to thousands of homes, a new report argues.
Mine water geothermal heat (MWGH) systems use the water in flooded coalmines, which is warmed by natural processes, to supply low-carbon heat. Heat exchangers and pumps recover the heat, which is distributed via district heating networks to homes and buildings, providing low-cost, long-term, stable energy. Continue reading...

I wish MPs would read the judgement and get legal advice before making these virtue signalling proclamations.
