This seems to have tremendous potential, and not just for geothermal!
However, one issue with geothermal that I didn't see addressed is that iirc, geothermal systems start out great, but as water/fluid is pumped down and back up hot, minerals rapidly deposit themselves on the plumbing and decrease the system efficiency and ultimately kill it. Could this system be used to more quickly, cheaply, and regularly perform maintenance, or is this just one good step to get broad geothermal applications, and that remains a problem to be solved?
It's be great to hear from any experts in the field - thx!
