I do think the borehole plan (3km deep, rather than 400m deep) is better, although it is more speculative and this proposal has the overwhelming advantage that it’s being enacted.
- karaterobot 3y agoAgreed; perfect is the enemy of the good in this arena. We just need someone to do something first, to make it easier for the second group, and the third, who can then offer some improvement to the process without having to overcome the same level of NIMBY challenges. NIMBY may not be the right acronym. Not In My Very Remote, Geologically Stable Bunker System.
