So releasing geothermal heat won’t contribute to global warming?

This sounds like the opening premise for a Roland Emmerich film.

Uh, won’t ultra-deep geothermal DRILL POINTS cause EARTHQUAKES?

How long will the environmental impact statement take to go through? Can’t drill towards the chewy chocolate center until all the paperwork is done.

"So releasing geothermal heat won’t contribute to global warming?"

Global warming is a scam. What I worry about is if this becomes prevalent enough and lasts long enough the. We will actually cool down the Earth's mantle enough to stop plate tectonics in some areas.

It's far better to enrich the biosphere with carbon.

There’s a name for a place which allows magma’s heat to rise to the surface.

It’s called a volcano.

So, they just need to drill down far enough to get to the point where it is hot enough. About 3 miles.

As soon as they get just one of these things to work, oil futures will take a major hit.

I put their chances at success at about 1%. Big payoff if they really do hit. Like in poker, table odds versus hand odds. Table odds are $1Billion to chase $1Trillion [1000:1], hand odds appear to be 100:1. Worth it.

Didn’t the Weekly World News warn us about doing this?
