Hot Dry Rock - An energy free lunch! Yes, Hot Rock Geothermal Energy can supply all the energy we'll ever need, say scientists and environmentalists familiar with the technology. It taps the heat in the rock just below the ground. There is no environmental cost, no safety problems, no waste. And it works! This program explains how Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Energy functions - and why it's not being fully developed.

  • Problem: It eliminates too many slave jobs.i.e: oil exploitation to fuel oil burning plants also Coal mining. People don't like it when only a few people need to work. Slavery would disappear.

  • Obama... how much money do you have for this? A billion or two thrown this way would not hurt our wall street friends. But be prepared for quakes, toxic gas and maybe a pet volcano.. lol.

    Regulation is not a dirty word. Use it.

  • yep too cheap we would all be gluttons not have to work and multiply faster...

  • Soylentgreenb,

    I appreciate that developing new energy requires energy. Cost is a big issue. But we must spend money and energy that we have now to ensure that we have something else to step across to when the limited sources of energy we currently use run out. The endurance potential of this particular energy source is attractive.

    I also feel that the oil companies investing in this don't want to make themselves redundant too soon. I hope they are not trying to play 'God' with our future.

  • "Other countries ... have been considering this for a long time."

    They've been mapping the resource and building test plants with limited success. Works great in Iceland because they've got huge heat reservoirs right at the surface.

    "What is stopping things?"

    Cost. Oil companies are the chief supporters of HDR(they need something to do when the oil is gone) and they're in the business of drilling very deep holes and working with well stimulation technology and imaging.
