Have to wonder how they calculated that value... =3

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnot%27s_theorem_(thermodyna...

oil, and the inevitable gas from even a spent well would be a huge complication, which I think would get a big mention if they had ALL THAT!, worked out, as there are millions of retrofits then availible, right now so.I think they are leveraging tech derived from the "drill baby drill" industry in dry rock, and adding water

I found "inflate like a balloon" a bit confusing/misleading. it's more like the fracture in the rocks expands(slightly) due to the pumping of water- and when the pump is turned off, the fracture goes back to a normal position pushing the hot water up. I am not an expert but I am really bamboozled by the reliability of this bc I imagine the rock/fracture will have to give away after some time(permanent rupture) or they will have to keep expanding the fracture.

If you pressurize something "incompressible" like water under a cap of impermeable rock you are to still compressing the water and compressing the surrounding rock. The whole industry of fracking operates on compression rock to the point of fracturing it and forcing open the cracks. At 600-1300 bar water compresses 3-6%. It's the "equivalent" of a reservoir at the height of everest or higher.

I too moved from TX, never been happier.
