    @5random1 not good with this stuffs lol

  2. DaBomb1 says:

    I wonder whether the pipes could be broken if there is a bit of seismic activity…that seems like it could be the biggest barrier to this. Drilling holes that deep must be expensive, and tectonic plates can move a great deal during an earthquake.

    @pansongrengurenge
    You neither understand what is being done, nor how earth’s core heat and crust heat function.
    Try geology 101 and physics 101 (high school courses will be adequate)

    geothermal will make earth ice age once again

    has anyone ever checked out gasland and the whole process of fraking? this assuming we aren’t going to be pumping dangerous amounts of chemicals into the earth should be safe- but unless anyone’s a geologist- do we know if what the water brings up from the core won’t end up poisoning the earth above ground? i really doubt we can capture even 70% of the water that pumped in- and it could happen at the costs 100 of 1000 tons of fresh water- that is not something we have a lot of.

    @consuma808 Earth’s core remains hot as long as the sun exists and earth turns around the sun. – because the sun is also heating that core by magnetic induction energy | And be sure that the total energy that sun gives to earth by induction and light emission is much larger than those risky nuclear thingies. (e.g. it is needed to process 10 tons of non fissile uranium-238 mineral to acquire about 60kgs of fissile uranium-235 and generates 4kgs of waste after usage to keep for 250 years)

    but jesus always said moderation was key

    my step dad matt told me the story of the Mississippi river and he also told me about how no energy is free and he is a mIT grad if you want credentials you could always take grad 11 science again

  9. kunoization says:

    no there is a danger because energy is not free, take a building for example the more vents you make the cooler the center gets, as for wind turbines guess what guys air is a fluid remember when they said they could never damn up the Mississippi river with the turbines..well they did, but i guess if we must learn the same lesson time and time again by the mistakes of the unconscious rationality then so be it we can find away around view points because life seems too do that

    @chriszeng8 Why not just get rid of money? Technological unemployment is inevitable, so why not get rid of it now and create a new economy based on science, technology, and sustainability. Automation will take over the service sector, and there is not evidence of a sector that requires human labor that will replace the service sector. In addition, cost effiecient will be taken out of the equation. We can find alogrithyms as to how, where, and when goods and services are shipped.

  11. chriszeng8 says:

    The world’s radius is 6378 km, whereas in this case, the well is only drilled a few km down the earth, it is less than 1/1000 of the radius. So, even intuitively, the energy being extracted relative to the total heat of the earth should really be nothing noticeable. I like the simplicity of the idea, it’s just that the drilling is a bit of issue. Not only it costs more than an arm and a leg, but also tons of things can go wrong with the drill, which sometimes can really hinder the project.

    @monsieurmarcjoseph Exactly. Justin Beiber’s Baby has 487,660,765 views. So you can see that people are detached from reality.

  13. boumar19721972 says:

    @franknblunt Use water from the sea and not only that the water is recycled. Other forms of energy that we are using right now are more polluting. Look at Japan and their nuclear reactors. Look at the oilsands in Alberta Canada.

    Tectonic and Stratigraphic Disruption; Water Contamination
    Appears that frakking is a risk in that it creates seismic activity.
    It also is causing watersheds and water table contamination. Sometimes you just have to say, oops!

  16. monsieurmarcjoseph says:

    Just over 110,000 views… this is why geothermal is not being developed; no one knows about it. Geothermal is being developed strongly in countries that have the resources, with the exception of Canada, because it is a viable energy alternative to fossil fuels. To create a larger market for it, and to increase investment, the geothermal industry needs to lobby governments harder, and in turn, governments need to allow for the development of geothermal by supporting the industry.

    Here in Brazil, there’s no electricity being produced from geothermal power.

    LMAO from 1:55 til the end
    that’s what she said !!

  19. Slynggaard85 says:

    @ChristiansMustLearn cound’t agree more. and i like your name btw

  20. anime1973 says:

    isn’t this the same technology that i read caused earthquakes in europe?

  21. PaulYves64 says:

    WEC 2010 and their site energy2point0 is the place we all should be debating in order to get all stakeholders around a same community energy2point0 The only way to have a constructive debate… AND the big GUYS WILL LISTEN…

  22. Deango2 says:

    @Peterwhitlock you can look this stuff up for yourself if you don’t believe me. But like I was saying before, we don’t have to rely solely upon EGS, I totally agree with you about using wind and solar too. I think it would be stupid to ever rely on one thing alone. But if you live in a area where you cant use hydroelectricity, then I think EGS, especially EGS using super critical fluids makes sense if you need base power.

  23. Deango2 says:

    @Peterwhitlock This sort of stuff, even if its theoretical on paper, doesn’t mean it will happen in real life. Also it will never need to happen with the use of supercritical fluids in a closed pressurized circuit. What they are talking about in this video is water, which is stupid, water takes a long time to heat up, it would take a lot of heat to produce steam. In that instance what you are referring to could be possible, but if you use pressurized fluids suck as liquid CO2, its efficient.

  24. Deango2 says:

    @Peterwhitlock thye can contain that into a closed circuit though, plus even if they didn’t it would be the same or at least similar gasses to what comes out of volcanoes, right? Plus again like I mentioned before, we don’t know what to do with spent fuel rods in nuclear power, since coal has a carbon footprint and so does natural gas, then they are not good options. What clean renewable base load power exists other than hydro electricity and geo thermal? None right now.

    Its funny that people told him to update to 1.6…. and yet right now it’s 1.0.0!
