Fracking?[edit]

Sounds a bit like fracking to me. Biscuittin (talk) 22:13, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's one of the techniques used - I've added a link to the article. Mikenorton (talk) 19:33, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects[edit]

Should these redirect here?

The author of Hot Dry Rock (HDR) Geothermal Energy seems to be arguing that HDR is different from other Enhanced geothermal systems. Biscuittin (talk) 12:58, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't looked deeply enough tot be sure that this technology is that different from other enhanced geothermal systems, but if we are going to have this article it seems only logical for both of those terms to redirect to it.
Another matter is the page title itself. Normally we don't parenthentically include abbreviations for a subject right in the page name. An easy example is the enahanced geothermal systems article itself, also known as EGS.
That being the case I think the obvious course of action is to move the page and retarget the redirects to the new title. If, at some later date, it is decided not to have a stand-alone article on this these are all actions that can be easily undone. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:57, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. The second redirect now is this page, and the first redirects to it. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:10, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unconfirmed systems — Soultz[edit]

However, all these “engineered” geothermal systems, while developed under programs directed toward the investigation of HDR technologies, have proven to be open—as evidenced by the high water losses observed during pressurized circulation.

It's not true, according

The Future of Geothermal Energy. Impact of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) on the United States in the 21st Century, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006; page 4-29

in Soultz project in 1997 year was circulation test without water losses. Лапоть (talk) 16:53, 17 September 2019 (UTC).[reply]
