It’s hard to put an exact date on some bits of news. Around the middle of the month the Western Australian Premier Alan Carpenter declared a personal preference for geothermal energy to power a couple of new desalination plants slated for the SW of the state in the coming few years.
Also, towards the end of the month I stumbled upon evidence that the NSW Department of Primary Industries is having a fresh look at geothermal energy, with the inclusion in their $8m New Frontiers program of “thermal and crustal modelling using borehole temperature data merged with subsidence and basin thermal history [to] identify 'hotspots' and source rocks for geothermal energy.”
