...answer may come from tapping the heat stored in rock strata at least 5 km below the surface in many parts of the world, including Europe, India, China, the U.S. and Australasia. A report by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology last year argued that by mid-century, this type of geothermal energy could supply 10% of America's power...
...Innamincka has some of the hottest rocks anywhere, and Geodynamics has spent $150 million drilling deep into them. The biggest and most advanced of some 40 companies seeking to capture Australia's underground heat, it aims to be the first to prove that deep-earth geothermal power is commercially viable. Geothermal is already a bit player in the power business: underground water heated by volcanoes is already used for heating and electricity generation in countries like Iceland and New Zealand. But supplies of natural hot water are limited. The new push is to mimic nature by creating artificial water-heating...
...theory, says Geodynamics chief executive Gerry Grove-White, there's enough heat in the rocks of the Cooper Basin, on which Innamincka sits, to replace all the coal-fired power stations in Australia for more than 250 years. He says one cubic kilometer of hot granite has about the same stored energy as 40 million barrels of oil. With several thousand cubic kilometers of these granites, Australia has enough heat to last millennia...
...facts are forthcoming ... on with the show! McClellan's testimony will primarily serve as a free publicity session for him, though it's possible the sheer spectacle of a onetime Bush loyalist denouncing his former colleagues will generate some anti-Bush heat for Democrats. As for it undermining Rove's claim of executive privilege in any meaningful way, that's a long shot. The White House has ordered the Justice Department not to pursue the contempt charges brought against Rove. Which means that for now, Democrats in Congress will have to make do with McClellan for their summer dose...
...Kemp. As little as three weeks before he was selected, recalls Dole's campaign manager, Scott Reed, Kemp was grumbling in GOP circles that he hadn't been given a speaking spot at the party's convention. So why did Dole pick him? "We were going for oxygen, heat and energy," Reed says. "We went through the traditional list, and we just weren't happy with what we were coming up with." Kemp later turned out to be far more complicated a partner than Dole or Reed had imagined...
