- Need high heat differentials to compete with natural gas and make electricity generation more efficient
- temp increases by 25C with every km of depth
- Drilling costs are exponential with depth

- Enhanced geothermal creates reservoirs and attempts to connect the wells. Cold water is passed down one well to be heated and let out the other wells.
- This requires conductive properties of the rock between wells
- EGS requires a level of control in fracturing that oil and gas development does not need.
