Los Alamos Considers Drilling Deep For Geothermal Power
Scientists at Los Alamos laboratory plan an experiment to extract heat from dry hot rock by circulating water between two deep holes near a volcano crater. Morton C. Smith says New Mexico has two prime areas with hundreds of cubic miles of hot rock and potential to supply U S energy for years. If funded, first heat extraction could occur within months using existing drilling tech.

Geothermal drilling plan near Los Alamos eyed for energy future
The project proposes drilling outside the Jemez Caldera to test deep rock fracturing and circulating heated water between two wells. The plan envisions a disc shaped fracture zone, a heat exchange surface, and continued cracking as rock cools to extend plant life. Researchers expect five to seven years to judge its role in energy.
