When you hear “the future of food,” what comes to mind? Star Trek-like food synthesisers, pills to replace your lunch, lab-grown meat, and insects for protein?

Berlin’s underground car parks are producing so much heat they could power thousands of homes with clean geothermal electricity, according to a new study. The heat given off by car engines makes the city’s car parks hotter than the surrounding earth, which in turn raises the temperature of the groundwater.
