Geothermal testing in Montana eyed as energy future
The National Science Foundation funds a $2.5 million Marysville project to drill into hot dry rock near Empire Creek in Lewis and Clark County. Battelle Memorial Institute manages the effort aiming to harness earth heat for electricity, potentially supplying cheap power and easing coal use. Engineers anticipate 6,000 foot depths and 800 degree Fahrenheit temps, with fracturing needed to maximize rock heat contact.
