Geothermal resources (W) are quite a novel type of extractable resources. Their consumption, however, is among the world’s fastest growing power industries. Our evaluations of W were largely focused on 1) resources that can be used for heat supply, 2) on the extraction, with the help of a geo-circulation system (GCS), of water at a temperature (T) of at least 60 °C, and 3) on its (water) release back into the Earth at T = 20 °C. Economic appraisals point to a plausible achievement of commercial
