The former fracking site now tapped for clean geothermal heat 18 hours ago Chris Baraniuk Getty Images Several old fossil fuel wells in the north of England – including one that runs 3km deep – were going to be used for fracking. Hoare also says that Third Energy has a total of 12 wells it could use for geothermal energy in Yorkshire, three of them at Kirby Misperton. "It certainly sounds ambitious but it doesn't sound impossible," says Loveridge, who praises Third Energy's proposals for Kirby Misperton. If a geothermal project at Kirby Misperton never gets off the ground, or never lives up to the promises made by Third Energy, Potter says he will be "most disappointed".
