Using old coal mines to heat homes?
Gateshead is doing it.
Their mine-water project—the UK’s largest—draws 15°C water from boreholes, uses heat pumps to boost it to 80°C, and sends that heat through an underground network.
The system now warms 350+ homes and 23 buildings.

Young American men volunteer for military service, knowing they may have to sacrifice their lives for their country.
But they didn't volunteer to sacrifice their futures to protect the President or Secretary of Defense from being convicted of crimes.
That's not the service for which we thank them.

The US-Russia 28-point peace proposal includes the recognition of Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk as “de facto” Russian. Ownership of territories bordering the sea is critical for securing shipping routes and ports that play a vital role in supporting economic growth within these areas.
