@solar_chase #nuclear isn't "clean", and everyone who claims so has never seen the any #Uranium mine, #refinery or has a Spent Fuel Storage Facility in their backyard.

  • It's also quite #finite like #FossilFuels and we better use those "spicy rocks" for something better than just "boiling water to make a turbine go brr" cuz any #HeatSource, espechally #Geothermal and the #Sun, can do that too and cleaner!

🏫 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 A school in #Wales has harnessed a one-of-a-kind #renewable energy source to heat its classrooms: the country’s only natural #thermal spring.

The waters of Taff’s Well on the outskirts of #Cardiff are reputed to have healing properties, but now they’ve been put to modern day community use keeping staff and pupils at nearby Ffynnon Taf primary school toasty warm.

A ground source heat pump installed by #Cornwall-based Kensa is also using the well’s 21C water to warm the pavilion at Taff’s Well Bowling Club. #Emissions across the two sites have been reduced by almost 80%.

“Using the historic Taff’s Well thermal spring as a renewable #heatsource is a brilliant example of how bold ideas can lead to something that benefits future generations,” said Dr Stuart Gadsden, Kensa’s contracting commercial director.

Ffynnon Taf headteacher, Kathryn Price, added: “We will continue to celebrate the success of the #thermalspring installation in our community for many years to come.”
