One-third of Cornwalls electrical needs are coming from renewable sources at the moment and it is likely that geothermal power plants will be able to eliminate more and more non-renewable sources of energy. The first project, the United Downs, will exploit the significant warm water resources found by the mining industry. Not only will it produce free renewable energy, but it will also be able to extract minerals from the water such as Lithium and other minerals that normally would have to be mined. The extraction of lithium adds to the economic gains the region will have from the development of Geothermal Power Plants, as well as better paying jobs and higher quality job gains for the region.
