How many managing directors have they had now?

geo thermal power blows volcanoes

Here in Brazil, there's no geothermal energy.

how is the progress going eh?

[nickoswoos]

@BlackSmokeOperation check out there webstite. in summary there working toward a demo plant to prove it can provide base load electricity ect... due to be completed in 2013.

i think a closed loop could reduce costs. great tech and great engineering!

how many other places have hot dry rock?

[rss0246]

In 1991 I visited Los Alamos National Lab and they took us by bus to the Fenton Hill hot dry rock (HDR) demonstration power plant they had been running successfully for years in the nearby Jemez mountains. Two wells 2.5 miles (4 km) deep. Closed loop. Enough electricity to heat several hundred homes. No waste, no pollution, no emissions. Four years later the government cut off all their money, but they can't stop HDR forever.

THIS IS THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD -- MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT !!

I have heard they also can pick up alot of water from underground aqifiers as well.

sounds like a great idea

[dancingplanet]

where do you get the water from in Central Australia?

[pacus123]

This is a proof of concept. THey must have trucked in water from somewhere. In a closed system you would not have to worry about trucking in water as you'd just recycle it. That would be the ultimate solution. Hot Dry Rock is the way to go.

@dancingplanet good point

@dancingplanet

I would imagine The Great Artesian Basin.
