i always thought the problem with this geothermal-delivered-to-surface was transmitting the power over long distances..
course, this article is really just about drilling into a magma chamber and the volcano not going boom
Spin a turbine, generate electricity, transmit via HVDC?
too effective, HVAC with large losses is the best I can offer
We did our best.
I'd like to see some definitions or units put next to 'ultra high'.
