Don't complain - suggest what's better
This is potentially quite a groundbreaker (pardon the pun) 15 years of money into a project with no return (yet) must have taken some big balls and a lot of negotiating.

In the big scheme of things £50m for contant power generation doesn't seem too bad when compared to offshore wind. According to google (so take with a pinch of salt) powering 10,000 homes needs 10 to 15 megawatts. One single large offshore turbine could produce 8mw sometimes and can cost £30 million.
Now they have proved the concept it could be rolled out across any suitable ground, apart from of course planning permission, which will undoubtably have massive delays or be refused under pressure from vested interests.

" UKPS and its subcontractor Rendesco are putting in a low-emission ground source heat network comprising a centralised energy centre, 47 boreholes to extract renewable geothermal energy, and individual heat interface units in 235 new homes. .......... developer, Wates Residential will recover almost half of the capital costs of the heat network through forward-funded rebate payments, removing a potential financial barrier to choosing the lowest-emission heating technology. " :unsure::unsure: and who will be providing the forward funded rebates then ???????

This is just GSHP though ? Pulling a few C (Low temp) out for for house heating.
The Cornwall scheme is running with a DT of 80C which is crazy — and delivering 190c. That’s a deep hole ..
