Hi Alan

Actually, there is a mine in Quebec (I think) that flooded. The mine tunnels form a kind of structure like the back of a refrigerator. Water in the deepest part of the mine is heated geothermally. The heated water cools as it goes up the tunnels and is circulated.

A company is using this accidental discovery to provide hot water to nearby businesses and the flow to generate electricity.

This should work almost anywhere. We've not begun to think creatively about alternatives to oil.
