The Bureau is on the forefront of the resurgence of geothermal-resources innovation, exploration, and assessment. Geothermal Assessment of the 100 largest cities in the world Texas Geothermal Institute feasibility (independent, multi-institution research organization) Heating for Cornell University campus (sub) Geothermal Projects and Major Proposals at the Bureau Funder Unlike conventional geothermal energy generation, which must be located where nature concentrates heat (i.e., shallow magma bodies), the new paradigm will enable drilling almost anywhere to reach deep enough to get to sufficiently high temperatures (credit Jamie Beard, InnerSpace). The deep, closed-loop geothermal energy generation concept.
1), in combination with conventional hydrothermal systems hold the promise of making geothermal energy available anywhere, dramatically improving the global energy picture.įigure 1. The Bureau of Economic Geology has a long history of working on geothermal energy research, from initial reconnaissance of conventional geothermal resources and analysis of development potential in Texas in the 1970’s to present-day work on applying the new paradigm of deep closed-loop systems. Geothermal energy clean, baseload electricity generated off the heat of the Earth, has been a small part of the US and world energy picture for a hundred years – that is changing now! The Bureau, with deep expertise in N-dimensional sub-surface characterization, is working to advance the science behind geothermal resource exploration and assessment, as well as working with industry and the engineering sciences to tap this energy source.

Geological Sequestration of Greenhouse Gases.Either way, you should take advantage of Tactical Time Dilation. While it may be possible to avoid conflict using stealth, dialog, and other means, if you do end up fighting you will have a variety of options to ensure you remain above ground.ĭepending on your character, you may opt for getting close and personal with a melee weapon or simply value taking cover with a rifle in hand. If deciding the outcome of these settlements was not enough, the path to the geothermal plant is riddled with violent marauders and aggressive fauna. With this information and a weighty decision to contemplate, you will make your way to the next objective - the geothermal plant. She wants to hurt Edgewater by destroying their power supply, and she needs your help to do it. Today, Adelaide and a small band of loyal followers live together under the shade of a garden, surviving off the land and keeping to themselves.Īdelaide holds a bitter grudge against Edgewater. Not a lot of people know what made Adelaide abandon her job and leave town. Remember that limited edition run of White Chocolate Saltuna? That was all Adelaide. As often with the decisions you face in The Outer Worlds, this will not be an easy choice and you will see that the botanical district is home to a group of refugees led by Adelaide McDevitt.Īdelaide McDevitt was once Edgewater’s finest flavor specialist. All you need to do is head down to the geothermal plant, cut off power to the botanical district, and take their power regulator for yourself. Reed points you to a power regulator in the nearby botanical district. For example, you may have the option to lie to someone if you have enough charisma, or potentially your companion is a skilled engineer and can help dig you out of a technical discussion that is way over your head.
Your character’s abilities and companions also play a part in conversations.
