Unxepected Discovery Proves Magma More Potent Than Geothermal Reservoirs
Scientific breakthroughs have been known to come by accident, not necessarily after a nice, long study: look at Newton's apple! This is roughly what happened at the Krafla volcano in Iceland: instead of testing geothermal energy harvesting, the team of researchers discovered the amazing power of magma.

Asteroid Impact To Have Created Geothermal Energy Reservoir In Australia 300 Million Years Ago
An important geothermal resource area in Australia has been found to have a less known, asteroid-related history, as Dr. Tonguç Uysal from the University of Queensland did some research on the energy capabilities of the Cooper Basin.
Michael Strizki`s Solar/Hydrogen/Geothermal Powered House – Amazing!
Michael Strizki's house is the most low impact house I've ever seen. He lives his life off-grid, because his home system feature solar panels, 10 hydrogen tanks filled with the excess energy from the solar panels, with the hydrogen taken out of water, and a 15 year-old geothermal system, that covered its price 8 times since it was installed.
Energy Produced from Geothermal Sources to See Significant Increases by 2020
