Power from Not-So-Hot Geothermal Sources
Lower-temperature geothermal resources (below 300F) are common across the US and could be a bountiful source of power, if researchers were able to find an economical way to convert them into electricity. Now researchers say they have developed a low-cost system that can utilize low-temperature geothermal resources to generate electricity.
