OSTI ID:4348434
Testing is being carried out at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory to investigate the possibilities, problems, and probable usefulness of man-made geothermal-energy systems in hot dry rock. The geothermal energy in the Earth's crust is the largest reservoir of directly usable clean energy accessible to man. The extraction system, potential, and costs are discussed. Equipment and techniques to make this energy reservoir useful already exist. (MCW)
