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.

Accusations of foreign interference have been making headlines this week.
Elon Musk’s X alleges that China has been stirring up a backlash against American data centres.
Israel and Russia have denied allegations from Spain’s prime minister that they’re partly to blame for the migrant crisis in Ceuta.
And Germany has accused Russia of being behind a spate of drone attacks at a German airport. Vladimir Putin has dismissed those claims and accused Germany of a‘ false flag’ operation.
We speak to the BBC’s social media investigations correspondent, Marianna Spring to examine the evidence and ask whether foreign interference is really to blame in every case, or if it is just a convenient scapegoat.

Gangs who illegally smuggle people to UK running low on small boats, investigation finds | BBC News
A BBC investigation has found criminal groups who illegally smuggle people to the UK across the English Channel are running low on small boats.
Gang members have told BBC sources that rival factions are now having to work together to load migrants on fewer, larger vessels. They’re also charging them more.
The number of crossings is currently at a six-year-low and UK ministers have credited the French police for intercepting more attempts.
The BBC’s Paris Correspondent James Waterhouse has looked at how the people smugglers are being forced to adapt.

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.

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.

I worked for an Edinburgh firm that did this in two residential homes, about 25 years ago. Took the water from two old coal mines. One in Fife and the other in North Lanarkshire. Worked well, I recall. Smaller scale than this guy keeping his wine at an even temperature though.

The coal mines were shut down and abandoned far too early in the UK, purely to satisfy Margaret Thatcher's hatred of working class people. Yes, coal production is dirty and not good for the environment, but it could have satisfied nearly all of the UK's energy needs today while greener alternatives to it are being developed and become more affordable. Instead some of the best coal in the world is lying underground unused.
