IceLand .. makes sense If geothermal doesn't work there It won't work anywhere .. I wonder if this concept could be extended to the oil and gas industry .. Must have been a lot of deep dry holes drilled over the years .. Wouldn't there be useful heat at depth in those boreholes ?? "If we could somehow harness this energy .. and channel it into the flux capacitor" Triff ..

When I heard the Icelandic contingent speak at the last Geothermal Resources Council conference they said they planned to eliminate oil from the country. I asked how they'd power their ships and fishing trawlers and was told hydrogen. I wonder if they couldn't use rechargeable VRB-ESS electrical storage units in combination with hydrogen to power ships? Would that produce enough power to get a ship very far? Is shipping large quantities of hydrogen practical?
