Another Look at Geothermal Energy

Overall, the thermal potential locked in the earth is enough to make available solar power pale in comparison. If we could ever get the oil and alternative energy industries working together in concert and sharing knowledge, we would find that most of the technology needed for a rapid ramp-up in geothermal power production already exists. Given its depth of experience in drilling very deep wells in the U.S., I would not be the least bit surprised to Chevron become a first tier player.
