Geodynamics: Steady Progress Towards a New Source of Renewable Energy

This better be extraordinarily hot rock with a nearby superheated source, because hot rock alone in a closed loop system almost never works for very long because the heat from the rock dissipates rapidly. If this was such a good location, then Ormat would be all over it. This is a much harder endeavor and business than the author or investment banks know or would admit. Moreover, how close is this source from the grid? That's pretty important.
