Anyone who reads Discover, Science, Science News, New Scientist or Scientific American, or even the Science column in the New York Times on Sundays knows everything there is to know about this hole from the day it was first proposed, to the detailed planning, to this completion of the bore itself.
I recall the boreholes drilled in California along the San Andreas and Hayward Fault zones were also subject to criticism on the same basis as this one.
Is Science Daily the MSM?
Where can I get the real scoop on this project that refutes the reporting here? I'd love the link.
