I do believe that the use of geothermal energy would be helpful, but it's hard to get behind companies like AltaRock when they've clearly left out information that hurts the image of what they're doing and how dangerous it could be. They made comments about not being positive there were connections between the earthquakes in Basel and drilling, but it had been made pretty clear that it was connected. Even if they weren't sure, I believe more research would be necessary.
As for the earthquakes in Arkansas, again - more research is needed to determine if the drilling is the cause (which it appears is the case). Even if they're not sure, when it comes to earthquakes, and the large number of them occurring (especially in the Greenbrier area), I think more care should be put into knowing exactly what the effects could be.
