Geothermal power in the United Kingdom
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Geothermal_power_in_the_United_Kingdom
The potential for exploiting geothermal energy in the United Kingdom on a commercial basis was initially examined by the Department of Energy in the wake of the 1973 oil crisis. Several regions of the country were identified, but interest in developing them was lost as petroleum prices fell. Although the UK is not actively volcanic, a large heat resource is potentially available via shallow geothermal ground source heat pumps, shallow aquifers and deep saline aquifers in the mesozoic basins of the UK. Geothermal energy is plentiful beneath the UK, although it is not readily accessible currently except in specific locations.

Confusing organisation. The previous section is purportedly about 'Aquifer-based schemes', and this one is about 'Hot rock schemes'. So why are the aquifer schemes being mentioned again?
