Proposed North Yorkshire fracking site becomes source of clean, geothermal energy - eviltoast

An underground well in the North Yorkshire village of Kirby Misperton was drilled but never fracked after a fightback by protesters. It has now taken on a “second life” as a source of clean, green, geothermal energy.

Of particular “good news” interest:

The company, which spent a generation supplying gas into Yorkshire, including backing fracking, is now fossil fuel free.

    Where is the energy from the water pump coming from. You need energy to pump the water but nowhere in the article does it say where that energy comes from. Calling it green without this is bullshit.
