How big a role can geothermal energy generation play in the UK's green transition?

@Brokar @ChrisMayLA6 I've been following Quaise energy with the new drilling tech: https://www.quaise.com/
I really like the idea of converting fossil fuel plants into geothermal.
@sealeucas @Brokar @ChrisMayLA6 Thanks for the link. Last night happened upon Cindy Taff'S TED talk on this technology. This is brilliant.

Well, a new plant coming on line in Cornwall will test that proposition, as its major up-front investment starts to pay off in energy generation.
Of course, we're used to big up-front investment(s) in nuclear power, so it will be interesting to see how this project compares in cost recovery terms & longevity of production.

Earth's heat to produce electricity for homes in UK clean energy first
Water super-heated by rocks will also provide the UK's first domestic supply of the critical mineral lithium.

@ChrisMayLA6 I think the main output of this project is the lithium that's dissolved in the water and that they will be selling to the battery industry. The power/heat is a bonus
