Geothermal Systems, or EGS, attempts to do just that. EGS produces heat and electricity by harnessing the energy from hot rock deep below the earth's surface, expanding the potential of traditional geothermal energy by orders of magnitude.
The file linked below will allow you to explore the new EGS maps in Google Earth. It shows EGS Potential for depths from 3km to 6.5km (6.5km to 10km is considered "theoretical potential"). The calculations exclude inaccessible zones such as National Parks and other protected lands. Go to the map and check out our Geothermal Plant in Kalapana. Very interesting article indeed.
Library of titles that show the history of our geothermal projects past and present projects, happening here in Puna and around the islands
