Luke Grenfell—Shaw had a rare form of cancer. It started as a pain in his shoulder and the tumour spread to
his lungs, making it stage four. The Oxford graduate was teaching English in Siberia when he suffered a shoulder
pain and saw the school nurse. It was her reaction to a lump on his back that sent him back home to Bristol. “I was
24 years old. I had done an ultramarathon,” Luke says. “48 hours later. I was back in hospital in the UK.” On 19
June, 2018, doctors told Luke that he had cancer.
“I had kind of worked out that it was cancer, but what kind of blew me away was the fact that it was stage four
cancer,” says Luke. “That day, my life felt like it had disintegrated. My life had been comfortable and conventional.
I had worked hard and got rewards in terms of education, jobs, things like that. That was all taken away.” On the
day of his diagnosis, Luke had one clear thought in his mind that he wanted to cycle around the world. It was
something he had always hoped to do, but the cancer news made him realize that he couldn’t put it off.
“I realized that the future had to become now,” Luke explains. He decided to cycle from Bristol to
Beijing—more than 5,000 miles—on a tandem bike, because he wanted to bring people along to share the
experience with him. Luke will not only be joined by family and friends for certain legs of his trip, but also by
other young people who are living with cancer. “This trip is something I’m going to enjoy,” says Luke. “I’s going to
be the richest and most fulfilling experience that I can have.”

A Successful Cooperation
Geothermal(

) power generation is one of our most stable renewable energy resources. Heat generated
below the Earth’s surface can provide an almost unlimited supply to power and heat homes. And while geothermal
electricity only accounts for around one percent of global generation, that is set to at least triple by 2050.
The Geysers in California is the world’s largest geothermal electricity complex. It produces enough electricity
from its 18 power plants for 725,000 homes, totaling 20 percent of the state’s renewable energy. Superheated “dry
steam” is channeled from a large sandstone reservoir heated by a large magma chamber(

miles beneath the surface.
Heat is captured from its passage through the rock and the heated water converts into electricity. Cooled water
is then recycled and pumped back to gather more heat. EGS (enhanced geothermal systems) technologies will open
