Why not install heat pumps that line the tunnels and actually pay down the debt? Air conditioning the <i>trains</i> is hilarious to me.<p>You could run these units whenever there is an excess of renewable generation on the grid. It&#x27;s kind of like a battery. Clearly we can store a lot of energy down there for a really long time.
