| royb673, as my Dad used to say, "you have reason!" HDR/EGS will save the world -- it's just a question of when. As far as cooling off the Earth, it can't happen. Ninety percent of the planet is over 1000 degrees F. Even the deepest EGS wells will barely scratch the surface. At most, a small percentage of the energy in the Earth's CRUST (basically the skin of the apple) will be harvested. The rest of the Earth (including the heat source 4000 miles away) won't know and won't care. |

| i dont think it would be possible for this technology to result in a cumulative cooling of the earths interior heat.the earths heat is generated by nuclear fusion from the core of the planet and produces vastly more energy than we need to sustain all our energy demands.this is the transition to a type 1 civillization! |

| 277777777777 KHW = 1 EJ, I think your calc. are off |

| Not to mention the cooling of the caldera at Yellowstone could prevent that particular supervolcano from erupting and laying waste to all of North America. (This has actually happened in the past) |

| Don't get this 100 EJ estimate.It means that we use on average about 300kWh/day.Heck, our 3 bedroom consumes that in a month. |

| very well put. i would like to know as well. |

| I do like this idea, but we should proceed with caution.My old neighbor was a logger. In 1940 the forest was endless. Today he's shocked how billions of us have destroyed much of what sustains us. His generation thought it was impossible.Might this technology repeat this error? Could long-term, world-wide, seemingly insignificant energy extraction accumulate affecting over-all core temperature? Could the injected water cause tectonic plate slippage? Has anyone modeled the "what if" factor? |

| These giant volcanoes, like yellowstone national park, would yield vast amounts of energy. |
