Iceland's volcanoes could power the UK: but at what cost?

As much as I applaud the engineering skills and endeavours of projects such as these, I cannot help think that we need to remove our dependency on energy from overseas and look upon the generation of electricity as a possible export to other countries such as Germany who have 'boxed' themselves into polarised thinking on renewables. Geo-thermal energy is available in this country and although more difficult to harness than in a location like Iceland doesn't have to be transported thousands of miles and does not reek havoc on our economy but quite the opposite.
