[quote:citizenperth:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzMzNzUwMTYzX0E0RDQ0MTEy] [quote:Southern OR:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzMzNzUwMDAyXzg0NEJCQzM1] Energy Company Plans to Frack a Volcano AltaRock Energy and Davenport Newberry, the companies behind the $43 million plan, have been granted a permit to hydrofrack the hot rocks flanking the Newberry volcano in Oregon, where Davenport Newberry has secured federal leases on 62 square miles of land. This will involve injecting water into a series of cracks in the rocks at a high enough pressure that it reaches three kilometres beneath the surface, fracturing connected veins of rock to access the heat beneath and creating a series of connected geothermal reservoirs in the process. Water will be introduced to these reservoirs, where heat from the rocks will turn it to steam, which then turns turbines at surface-level to generate electricity. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/10/newberry-volcano-fracking/ I know it's a bit off topic, but I thought it would be good to share. My concern is they won't know if it works or not till after they try it out. We have family in this area. I have always liked Oregon being pretty small on the doom meter. [/quote] we have huge fracing for gas operations by lease here in australia... the amount of chemicals they use is higly toxic to melt through the rock.... bit scary ... dunno either... [/quote]
