"$2 billion geothermal project...is not drilling for gas. It's drilling for underground heat that ... [promises] to hold the key to generating carbon-free power...Just these three well pads alone will produce 100 megawatts of electricity...around-the-clock, 24/7 electricity
"..a well that curves like a hockey stick as it reaches more than 13,000 feet underground...the water squeezes through cracks in 400-degree rock."
