I imagine that, compared to ground source heat extraction, these are nearing 100% uselessness in winter.

Locally, the Local Authority is developing a system to extract heat(?) from the River Tyne, and, from the water in abandoned Mine Workings.

Be interesting to see if it is another Nuclear Fusion (ie more energy in than out), but, we need to be patient, I am sure there will be a breakthrough in 20 years ;)

Isn't the problem also that 90% of the population understandably aspire to having lifestyles like that of the resources-greedy existing ten percent. It's going to be hard to explain to somebody in the developing World "Sorry pal, you can't live like we do/did".

If the rich 12.2% halve their consumption, the poor 87.8% can consume twice as much, and still leave a 27% reduction in consumption overall.
