Lots of meta-level comments here so I’ll add one that’s more in the weeds:
In an office job, it’s always good to be friendly with IT and the office manager/administrative assistant.

Thanks.
I was going to say, that it’s not an environmental document and climate science was barely a thing when it was written. (meteorology was but not climate science as we know it).
This is a great community.
The Lemmy community is far better than the subreddit
Propane can also be delivered in many areas.
Give me a similar game to Atari 50 but set during the peak of the C64 games and I’d be a very happy guy!
I’d love a remake and commentary on Below the Root, Montezumas Revenge, Raid on Bunling Bay etc.
The Re-booted Yars Revenge on Atari 50 is really fun…
I like his lolling tongue. It’s like he passes out while panting.
Geologist by training here and it’s been many years but as I recall, subsurface geothermal systems can be quite complex, especially in regional systems like Yellowstone, Iceland, New Zealand etc.
The hope, as I understand it, revolving around geothermal in the United States is tapping into much larger areas, namely the basin and range region, where subsurface temperatures are much higher than other areas. In this area, while there are many natural hot springs, they are remote and less commercial so disruption would have less impact. The benifits could also be fantastic since there is a huge area that has potential. (Most of Nevada and Western Utah). The biggest challenge is the complexity of underground faulting throughout the region. We can understand the general structure (hence the name “Basin and Range”), but the details are a challenge. At each macro fault you have lots of microfaulting and if you are attempting to scale up an energy production facility over an area you risk disrupting the system with each fracked well.
If we can very accurately map the subsurface, it’ll go a long way towards making this energy source much more viable. (We’ve had years to get better at microfracking so getting an accurate map of what’s down there is most important)
