How abandoned coal mines could heat our homes – BBC News
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.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

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.

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.
