The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

  1. Just over 110,000 views… this is why geothermal is not being developed; no one knows about it. Geothermal is being developed strongly in countries that have the resources, with the exception of Canada, because it is a viable energy alternative to fossil fuels. To create a larger market for it, and to increase investment, the geothermal industry needs to lobby governments harder, and in turn, governments need to allow for the development of geothermal by supporting the industry.

  2. WEC 2010 and their site energy2point0 is the place we all should be debating in order to get all stakeholders around a same community energy2point0 The only way to have a constructive debate… AND the big GUYS WILL LISTEN…

  3. @Peterwhitlock you can look this stuff up for yourself if you don’t believe me. But like I was saying before, we don’t have to rely solely upon EGS, I totally agree with you about using wind and solar too. I think it would be stupid to ever rely on one thing alone. But if you live in a area where you cant use hydroelectricity, then I think EGS, especially EGS using super critical fluids makes sense if you need base power.

  4. @Peterwhitlock This sort of stuff, even if its theoretical on paper, doesn’t mean it will happen in real life. Also it will never need to happen with the use of supercritical fluids in a closed pressurized circuit. What they are talking about in this video is water, which is stupid, water takes a long time to heat up, it would take a lot of heat to produce steam. In that instance what you are referring to could be possible, but if you use pressurized fluids suck as liquid CO2, its efficient.

  5. @Peterwhitlock thye can contain that into a closed circuit though, plus even if they didn’t it would be the same or at least similar gasses to what comes out of volcanoes, right? Plus again like I mentioned before, we don’t know what to do with spent fuel rods in nuclear power, since coal has a carbon footprint and so does natural gas, then they are not good options. What clean renewable base load power exists other than hydro electricity and geo thermal? None right now.

    you seen the oil spill of BP… it is 20 times smaller than the problem of Frac waters…. deal with it!
    it is 20 times worse than your worst nightmare!

  7. @Deango2
    vents do not go cold! they get deeper! each time an earthquke is made by cooling the rock the cracks get longer and deeper and repeat it… the longer it runs the deeper the cracks and more fracture waters leech poisons and are evaporated or lost into ecosystems that are super contaminated now as proof… LAWS are about to close them! same for Hydrof frac wells too… they pollute too much and are scams based on lies of clean power when the waters are 2% poisons and carcinogense
    .

  8. @Peterwhitlock Yes they do, not in EGS (that I am aware of), but when vents go cold or dry up for regular geo thermal plants, they will shut down or reduce use on those wells and plants.I find your complete dismissal of EGS to be very annoying quite frankly, what type of base load power to you propose then, because nuclear is not the way to go, that stuff keeps piling up and it always has the risk of being used by terrorist organizations.Solar and wind are great, but we need stable power as well

  9. @Deango2
    Liar no one shifts to other wells and wells are hundreds of miles from each other to prove it…lying dunce. No one is using carbon dioxide on this planet yet you liar!

  10. @Deango2 You are lying and too dumb to know what it is all about… no water no reason to drill…. dummy!

  11. @MasterOfAllPros
    cooling the core is not possible But by cooling the local location BE SUCKED DOWN towards the core.

    It is the wase of power that is the problem and the easy to solve solar and wind and wave to give % TIMES the need of the planet without need to drill even in non needed to drill locations! It is the greed and vanity and follies to ignore given proven ways for more expensive and dangerous ways where not even needed in the first place. YOU DO NOT NEED THEM TO START WITH!

  12. @Deango2
    Are you nuts? shift to other sites… you mean a group fo well near by fool! you can’t shift to another country or over mountains or seas You use close by as if far and that is insulting. THEY PUMP WATER IN AND OUT almost all wells on EARTH!
    #5 years of Earthquakes are proven things…. Now i have to research compressed carbon dioxide that makes no too much sense to me for it is too cold to use on hot rock as liquide as it fractures the rock and why “cool” water is used. I will look.

  13. @Deango2
    to cool such places is to make Earthquakes and is well proven to do so… the more that do it the more it affects the whole planet! Fracture of the rock is not proven safe! The constant Earthquakes could be the rock fracturing on or the whole section cooled and snapping but ALL geothermal places get MAN MADE earthquakes right under them at about 3.0 (small UNEXPLAINED tremors). If crack are deeper and deeper it is a future problem and fresh soft WATER is still used world wide!

  14. @Peterwhitlock Actually they periodically shift output to other well sites. Furthermore you have no idea how it works. They use water to fracture rock into billions of cracks. Then they can put supercritical fluids into the rocks, such as compressed carbon dioxide (finally found a use for that crap) :) This allows for lengthened heat exchange since it turns into vapor at a lower temp than water. If what you are talking about was even possible, the 35+ years of research on EGS would reveal it.

  15. Drill almost anywhere in the world to a deep enough level and have stable and almost unlimited amount of energy. That just makes sense. Why can’t others realize this?

  16. but we know it make earthquakes and fissures in the deep that seam to just get deeper and deeper to cause earthquakes above even if minor NOW! With no proof of security we find such geothermal power must have some kind of safety factor to it to make sure we don’t make people suffer due to lack of wisdom on such things YET. Earth will need much less power soon and off the grid systems dominate to make geothermal more specific locations and under more strict rules.

  17. What about geo fracture going down deeper and deeper due to the cracking effect of cold water on the rock at the bottom of each crack created.. a doom comes when the location turns into a volcano.
    Easy is not ALWAYS the right move! many NATURAL sites exist and deep wells MIGHT be the cause of earthquakes and possible future volcanoes.
