Imperial Valley Geothermal Efforts Question Energy Viability
A vast subterranean heat reservoir beneath California's Imperial Valley has yielded steam and brine but remains unusable due to corrosive minerals. Three companies including San Diego Gas and Electric and Standard Oil of California plan a less efficient but more reliable double flash process to extract energy, while experts warn the project may need advanced alloys or may be suspended until technology catches up.
