Let’s drill through the Mantle and see....................
You know Dutchsense claims that oil and gas drilling creates weak spots in the earth’s crust where earthquakes are more likely to happen. (He’s not opposed to drilling)
And he makes a strong case that the energy is radiating out from deep earthquakes along plate lines and known faults.
So I think we should purposely drill areas for the specific purpose of releasing earthquake energy so it doesn’t hit populated areas.
If we could gain access to more rare elements by doing so, it’s a win win.
