Episode 498 More Geothermal Energy
Jefferson Tester is a professor of engineering at Cornell University, where he is establishing a district heating system on campus. Last year he showed the general design, but now he has completed digging a hole three miles deep there. The rocks at the bottom have a temperature of 90 degrees, so cold water poured down there can be pumped back up at a temperature that can heat every building on campus. We talk about the expense (high!) and the potential for using this technology across the country.
