“There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
The heat source is geothermal boreholes.
From the article: “After reaching the reservoir with deep-drilling techniques developed for fracking, the companies intend to use the boiling water to power enormous heat pumps, delivering hot water to the surface and onwards to 20,000 homes in Vienna.”
I know about that. However, the main reason for reducing emission is to reduce the influence of Russia and China, not the environment. But I mean that the technology is similar to fracking for gas (apparently bad), and fracking for hot water is good?
First time I hear about that. What environment effect could that have?
I had heard about those pumps, but the article is talking about something else.
As for Russia and China. That’s like saying that banning Huawei and TikTok is because the government care so much about privacy and has nothing to do with losing in business competition.
Gas and fossil fuel is also not about the environmental. American and Canadian companies *also do horrendous things to the environment. It’s about stopping the competition from developing with cheap energy.
