Ultratiefes Fracking für grenzenlose geothermische Energie ist möglich | Das Labor für experimentelle Felsmechanik (LEMR) der EPFL hat gezeigt, dass das halbplastische, klebrige Gestein in überkritischen Tiefen immer noch gebrochen werden kann, um Wasser durchzulassen.

Do you want Balrogs; because this is how you get balrogs.
What could possibly go wrong?
So when do we start joining the Imperium?
This will not only make the Earth’s crust a wee little bit colder, but also make sure less coal and gas will be burned and thus helping against global warming.
There are probably risks, but they will probably be well worth it.
Combine this with solar energy, wind power and nuclear power and we have a winner.
We need to move forward with there things a lot faster.
Maybe it’s time for a reread of _The Fifth Season_.

I’m open to the balance of arguments and evidence, but at this point why not just develop more nuclear energy?
Been waiting for them to actually drill there first bore hole. Once this has been proven to work it would be able to replace the mass majority of our base load in an incredibly quick cadence. They can bore a hole next to a traditional power plant and convert. I imagine the AI companies would accelerate it the second it’s a proven concept.
It’s all fun and games until someone decides to suck up all the Mako
Hopefully this can be done safely. One of the biggest negatives in fracking is the waste water from drilling and extraction that gets into our water systems.
Okay it’s possible, but what are the effects, should this be done?
Fracing geothermal wells in Utah right now.
The state funded wells are planned for geothermal generators.
The wells will be linked to each other to complete a loop that flows hot water into and out of geo-thermal hot spots.
They have over 100 wells planned so far (last heard when I was there).

How about we don’t do this. Regular old fracking is bad for communities and the environment
