Fascinating read! It feels like there’s a long way to go to actually using the technology viably to drill deep wells, but I’m glad there are people working on it. Thanks for all the research and sharing.

Geothermal being the unloved child made me chuckle xD

Fascinating, thanks. New Zealand is one of the countries that currently has access to conventional geothermal power and the potential for more (although maybe we'll give the kind that threatens to cause earthquakes a miss, we are geologically unstable enough already).

You've given me the idea for an article too, because I've been planning a closer look at New Zealand's energy generation.
