Iceland to drill into volcano for unlimited geothermal energy
Original: Iceland will tunnel into a volcano to tap into virtually unlimited geothermal power
Iceland is preparing to tunnel into a volcano to access extreme-heat geothermal energy, a project that could deliver a far larger and more reliable power supply than conventional geothermal wells. By tapping magma-heated rock directly, engineers hope to prove that volcanic heat can provide a nearly limitless clean energy source, prompting international interest in the technique.
Why now: The ambitious plan to harvest energy directly from a volcano is a striking advance in renewable energy that has caught global attention.
