Comment on U.S. approves mega geothermal energy project in Utah
silence7@slrpnk.net 4 weeks agoThey’re fracking, but in granite, rather than in an oil and gas deposit. So you shouldn’t see the same kinds of hydrocarbon releases and contamination that go with fracking for oil and gas, or the same huge production of contaminated wastewater that needs to be disposed of.

The drilling is limited to the making the channels for water flow. They are using maneuverable fracking drills and tools to get to the depths they need.
