Cagey Solution: Will Nano Traps Make Geothermal Power Earthquake-Safe?

Earth’s molten mantle is a potentially inexhaustible source of energy that could meet 10 percent of our nation’s energy needs, but cost and safety concerns have hampered the growth of geothermal energy. Now, researchers have announced plans to test a more efficient way to tap into safer, low-temperature geothermal stores using nanotechnology. [More]
