Geothermal heat offers a promising source of renewable energy with almost zero emissions, but it remains a relatively expensive option to generate electricity. A new technique proposed by Penn State scientists may help prevent "short-circuits" that can cause geothermal power plants to halt production, potentially improving the efficiency of geothermal power, the researchers said. They published the work in the journal Energy . "The public perception of geothermal is that since it's renewable we should be able to produce from these resources infinitely," said co-corresponding author Arash Dahi Taleghani, professor of petroleum engineering at Penn State.
