Hot rocks
Description
Five kilometres underneath Australia, vast deposits of granites have been sizzling away since the world began. At temperatures of nearly 300 Celsius they contain enough energy to generate Australia's entire electricity supply for the next 800 years! But turning the legacy of a once-molten planet into the power of the future is no trivial matter. That is until now when the possibilities of Hot Rock technology looks like it could be the clean and abundant energy source of the future.
