No loss of life, astralia is a beautiful place, with no need for nuculer waste, could be very expencive cleaning a spill of that nature, just a minor set back preventing the ground water from reaching the hot spot.

Aaron, I doubt if there was any “mistake”. It is a new, developing technology, and there are a lot of unknowns to deal with in getting this to production. Geodynamics had just completed the “proof of concept” stage before this happened.

To their credit, they had done a terrific job in anticipating what may arise.

My personal guess is that there has been a failure in the well casing, or the lining of the hole, possibly caused by expansion due to the high temperatures of the water/steam travelling up the well.

There will no doubt be design changes, and as you suggest they will forge ahead after the rectification process.

So they had an accident; a minor setback in the grand scheme of the clean-energy transition era. Mistakes like this only provide more incentive to minimize error in future projects. With the many productive possibilities geothermal energy has to offer, I doubt that this incident will really turn off anyone relevant to it.

I don’t know, do you know? That comment came off as sarcastic, but who are you being sarcastic too?

I’m sorry for the loss of the company and the suspension of the project.

And how many people routinely die working on oil rigs?
