message: -- If anyone has a more accurate/relevant picture to put on this article, it would be much appreciated; I'm pretty sure the current one is a picture of exactly what HDR/EGS is _not_.  I'll work on it -- mebbe -- if I can, but my drawing skillz are almost non-existent.Little hacksaw 23:51, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Has anyone considered using this to extract oil from Canada's tar sands?  It would help with the wastewater problem, and, hey, the companies probably know a thing or two about drilling.--Joel 23:25, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The section at the bottom of the page titled "Modular Enhanced Geothermal Systems (MEGS)" is unreferenced, uninformative and poorly written. I suggest that it be either improved or deleted. --Dwane E Anderson (talk) 01:58, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

message: The article talks about increased seismic risk, which are certainly earthshaking, but has no mention of other risks.  Someone with good references or expert knowledge needs to add information about these.  Many of the sites are in locations that do not have enough water resources to meet present or planned future needs - It will be a political and engineering issue to get enough water to run these enhanced systems.  The water that is injected exceeds the amount of hot water that is recovered for energy production.  The difference may impact local water supplies, both underground and surface.  This issue will of course be quite different at different sites.  The hot water passing through the rocks will leach minerals and bring them to the surface.  These minerals may include heavy metals, sulfur compounds and chlorine compounds that must either be removed at additional expense or proven harmless, also an expensive process.  Only political pressure will ensure that the tainted water doesn't just get dumped. Chiverisimilidude (talk) 01:05, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Under the USA section in regards to relevant projects I think this page would benefit by adding in Cornell University's development of Earth Source Heating. It is the first project of its kind for the location using this technology (EGS) to develop district heating for their Ithaca Campus. Expanding on the nature of the site and the current progress of the project would provide more information of Enhanced Geothermal Systems in the United States.

message: I propose merging Hot dry rock geothermal energy into Enhanced geothermal system. I think the content in Hot dry rock geothermal energy can easily be explained in the context of Enhanced geothermal system, and a merger would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in Enhanced geothermal system.Chidgk1 (talk) 17:43, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
