Altarock, the company in charge of drilling, managed to get approval for the project by the U.S. Bureau […]

In short, they want to inject water inside a dormant volcano in Oregon at pressures that could trigger earthquakes. However, MIT claims that the new technologies they use will not generate any crust movement. The MIT […]
