Labour has launched a Net Zero scheme to transport hot water on barges on the River Thames to heat London homes instead of each home having a gas boiler. The Telegraph has the story.
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has earmarked £41 million for a project to launch electric boats that will travel upriver from a power plant in Belvedere, south east London, before pumping water into storage tanks on riverside pontoons.
From here, the water, heated to almost 100 degrees Celsius, would flow through pipes into nearby heat networks, which are systems that supply hot water to multiple buildings from a centralised heat source, rather than each property having its own boiler. The Government has claimed the project could eventually supply up to 650,000 homes.
The scheme, believed to be the first of its kind anywhere in the world, could also serve London landmarks, including the National Theatre, when it launches in 2028.
The Telegraph understands that most of the £41 million funding will go towards extracting waste heat from the Belvedere power plant to warm the water, as well as building four barges. Each barge could hold two million litres of water, equivalent to 80% of the volume of an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
And from the comments thread:

Putting this lunacy together with, say, the performing seal, muderous Mengele-Hancock psychopathy of the "Covid" response and killer vaxxes years ... together with young British boots in the paedo, child trafficking, money-laundering, biolab, meat-mangler horror of the Ukraine and you start to see the diseased minds behind all this.
Or Mind, if we wish to get metaphysical about it.
The sole question is ... how to stop these maniacs, the henchmen, myrmidons and the brainwashed, before we truly are largely destroyed, our remnantvenslaved in perpetuity?
Wiping the tears from my eyes after a fit of laughter I was reminded of the "boys in the backroom". Those creative inventors of ever more fiendish weapons to turn on the Nazis in WWII. Instead of boys we now appear to have girls, twelve year olds at that, coming up with clever ruses to defeat the climate. The backroom walls covered with pretty pictures of cuddly polar bears and unicorns. Lord help us.
