-- If anyone has a more accurate/relevant picture to put on this article, it would be much appreciated; I'm pretty sure the current one is a picture of exactly what HDR/EGS is _not_. I'll work on it -- mebbe -- if I can, but my drawing skillz are almost non-existent.Little hacksaw 23:51, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] tar sand

Has anyone considered using this to extract oil from Canada's tar sands? It would help with the wastewater problem, and, hey, the companies probably know a thing or two about drilling.--Joel 23:25, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removing refs and links

I am removing one reference and all external links for these reasons;

Problems with references;

Reference 1 broken link; http://geothermal.inel.gov/publications/future_of_geothermal_energy.pdf Removed

Ref 2: An australian politition *mentions* 'hot rocks', and that's about it. Nothing about the earthquake that the citation is supposed to back up. http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2007/s1938273.htm left in for now
