Geodynamics Ltd. will be making an investment decision on their first geothermal power station in early 2006. From the article: "Mother Nature has been kind to us. Australia could be the world leader within the next couple of years given the geological anomalies present in South Australia," says Peter Reid, chief executive of another explorer, Petratherm Ltd."

    I can't read the damn article. Is it possible that Reuters is susceptible to slashdot? I didn't think that many people would be interested in reading about the ass end of the wrold, sorry Australia.

    No. It's not dangerous and it's not new technology.

    Tell that to the people of Pompeii. Their little experiment with geothermal energy was less than sucessful.
