i always thought the problem with this geothermal-delivered-to-surface was transmitting the power over long distances..

course, this article is really just about drilling into a magma chamber and the volcano not going boom

    Spin a turbine, generate electricity, transmit via HVDC?

    The article says they have one example of drilling into a magma chamber and it not going boom. I hope their optimism is justified, but this looks like the plot at the beginning of an apocalyptic movie
