How an overlooked geothermal plant got a second chance
SMRTR summary
A failing New Mexico geothermal plant has been brought back to life after a company used advanced modeling to discover its original wells barely scratched the surface of the underground reservoir. Zanskar drilled a new well reaching 8,000 feet deep, and the plant now generates more than twice its previous electricity output. The findings suggest many overlooked geothermal sites across America may hold far greater untapped potential than previously thought.
