What happened: A UK project will use heat from underground rocks to generate energy for 10,000 homes and supply lithium domestically for the first time.
Why it matters:
- It advances renewable energy by harnessing geothermal power at scale in the UK.
- It creates a local source of lithium, crucial for batteries and green technology.
MNN Take: This development shows how geothermal energy can contribute to cleaner power and reduce reliance on imported minerals, supporting the UK's energy transition.
