Research on EGS Life Cycle Analysis has shown that a good correction for this would be to hook the drill up to the power grid decreasing the already minimal impact GEP power plants has on human health, climate change, and ecosystem quality.
Supporters also claim that because geothermal energy systems don’t rely on the changing weather, it is a more reliable energy with a constant energy output.
US involvement
The US has the largest potential geothermal energy reserve in the world yet only 4% of its total energy usage (15 billion kWh) is from GEP.
California has the highest number of geothermal heat pumps out of a total of the nine states that use geothermal energy.
Hawaii gets 20% of its power from geothermal power plants.
Knowledge about geothermal energy is not well known.
This makes getting money for research and development very hard.
Developers have also been known to have trouble getting permits to drill on public land and get funding from both the federal government and outside interests.
There are, however, two projects that were approved by the Senate to help get EGS out of the pilot stage.
In 1990, legislation took to creating incentives to develop the industry.
It was attempted with the Energy Act of 2005 and Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 with issued tax credits and the creation of Senate supported research and development programs.

The British Aircraft Corporation One-Eleven or sometime British Aircraft Corporation 111 or also BAC 111 was a British airliner.
It was a twin-turbojet that could carry around one hundred passengers.
Some were built under licence in Romania as RomBAC 111.
This aircraft is similar to the French Sud Aviation Caravelle and to the US Douglas DC-9.
The One-Eleven was retired from service in the 1990s because of noise restrictions.
It was one of the more successful British designed airliners.
History and service
Before the airplane was called the BAC 1-11, it was called the Hunting 107 before Hunting Aircraft merged with British Aircraft corporation.
It entered service in 1965, a while before it's competitors.
Despite it being a British aircraft, half of the original orders were American.
During the 1980s noise restrictions were passed, and most airlines wanted to hush-kit the aircraft instead of putting the aircraft out of service.
They did this because at least half of the 1-11s still in service were fairly new; only 5-10 years old.
During the early 1990s, more noise restrictions were passed, and this time, the planes were approaching retirement age anyway, so the BAC 1-11 saw most airlines retiring them in the 90s.
The last ones in service were testbeds for the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, and those were retired in 2019.

Babar: King of the Elephants is an animated movie that was released in 1998.
It was made by Nelvana Limited, Home Made Movies, and TMO-Loonland, in association with The Clifford Ross Company.
It was released in cinemas in Canada.
It was later released on home video by HBO Home Video in the United States.
The story is based on Jean de Brunhoff's book series.
It is the second movie about Babar, after Babar: The Movie (1989).
It is also based on the HBO television series, which ran from 1989 to 1991.
The film opens with various birds singing "The Ancient Song of the Elephants".
Marabou, a marabou stork, states that the elephants have long forgotten the meaning behind the words of the song over the years; the birds remember as they have been around for the same period of time as the elephants.
Marabou introduces the story that is about to unfold, beginning with a historically significant event: the birth of Babar the elephant.
In the Great Forest, Babar lives a happy childhood being cared for by his loving mother and playing with the other young elephants, including his friends Arthur and Celeste.
One day while walking alone with Babar, Babar's mother is shot and killed by a poacher, and Babar is forced to flee as the poacher approaches;[3] after days of wandering, he eventually finds his way to an unnamed city in Paris.[4] Babar spends an eventful day exploring the city and engaging in human activities such as eating ice cream for the first time and attempting to order at a restaurant, all the while disturbing traffic and frightening the other citizens.
He meets an older woman, Madame, who provides him with money to purchase proper clothing at a nearby store.
Following an extensive fitting session, Babar emerges from the store wearing his signature bright green suit, red bow tie, and a bowler hat.[3] Madame invites Babar to live with her, and she raises him as if he is human, educating him on subjects including mathematics, etiquette, and how to drive a car on the roads.
Although Babar enjoys his new life, he occasionally thinks back to his childhood in the Great Forest, missing his elephant friends and his deceased mother.
Two years later, while on a walk with Madame, Babar is shocked to discover Arthur and Celeste, who have left the Great Forest in search of him.
The three friends spend the day in a fashion reminiscent of Babar's first day in the city, but they are interrupted by Celeste's mother and another adult elephant from the Great Forest, who have been searching for the runaway children; though at first angry at their disappearance, the older elephants are ecstatic to see Babar, whom they had presumed dead.
They inform him that the King of the Elephants has died from accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms, leaving the elephants in disarray, and that the rhinoceroses have waged war against the elephants due to Arthur and the other younger elephants playing pranks on them.
That evening, Madame and Babar agree that it is time for him to return home.
Babar is welcomed back to the Great Forest, where he reunites with his old friend Cornelius and the rest of the elephants.
Meanwhile, Lord Rataxes, the leader of the rhinoceroses, mobilizes his forces in preparation for war against the elephants.
Babar devises a plan to stop the war: he paints monster faces on the backsides of elephants and has them walk backwards in their approach towards the enemy.
The plan succeeds in forcing the rhinoceros troops to retreat in fear, and Babar then has Arthur apologize to the abandoned Rataxes for offending the rhinoceroses, thus restoring peace to the jungle.
For his brilliant idea and bravery, Babar is asked to be the new King of the Elephants; he agrees on the condition that Celeste be his Queen, which she accepts.
As King, Babar is keen to introduce Western civilization to the elephants by building a City of the Elephants.
He brings in Madame - along with loads of supplies on the backs of camels - to the Great Forest, and together with the rest of the elephants they build huts with thatched roofs for residences, as well as other common city buildings such as a hospital, a theatre, and a courthouse.
As they are establishing roles for all of the animal citizens within their new city, Celeste reveals to Babar that she is pregnant; she later gives birth to triplets Flora, Pom, and Alexander.
Problems eventually begin to arise in the City of the Elephants, including Madame being bitten by a snake while protecting Zephir and Cornelius being struck unconscious by a fallen beam when his hut catches fire.
In hopes of distracting Babar from these events, Celeste plans a picnic for the family, Arthur, and Zephir; her efforts are successful until an unsupervised Alexander stows away in a basket that drifts away in the lake, almost eaten by a crocodile and nearly drowning before he is saved by his parents.
That night, Babar's troubles manifest in a nightmare in which he is threatened by a visit from the demon Misfortune and rescued by elephant angels, but he is awoken by Flora the next morning to discover that both Cornelius and Madame are well on their way to recovering from their respective ordeals.
The elephants rejoice in the completion of their beautiful new city, for which Babar proposes a new name: Celesteville.

Wulfhere or Wulfar († 675) was an early King of Mercia.
Although his father was pagan Wulfhere was a Christian.
His older brother Peada ruled Mercia south of the River Thames under Oswiu of Northumbria.
When Peada was murdered Oswiu held Mercia until the ealdormen of Mercia rebelled and placed Wulfhere on the throne.
Wulfhere ruled Mercia from 658 until his death.
He was the first Mercian bretwalda (overlord) of England.
Wulfhere was a younger son of King Penda.
His older brother Peada accepted Christianity to marry the daughter of King Oswiu of Northumbria.
After their father was killed by Oswiu, Peada was set up as a king of southern Mercia.
Peada's wife murdered him within five months.
Oswiu then took control of all Mercia and ruled it three years.
The Mercian ealdormen Immin, Eafa and Eadbert rose up in rebellion against king Oswiu.
Wulfhere, who had been kept hidden, was then proclaimed king.
Wulfhere had little opposition from Oswiu as he was dealing with a rebellion in Northumbria.
Wulfhere began building alliances with other kings in the south of England.
His first may have been in about 660 when he married Ermenilda, the daughter of King Eorcenberht of Kent and his wife Seaxburh.
About this same time he expanded Mercia to the west.
He brought Shropshire and Herfordshire under his control.
The kings of Essex submitted to his rule by 665.
Bretwalda
By the time Oswiu died in 670 Wulfhere was the overlord of most of southern England.
He installed Bishop Wine in London after he was expelled from Wessex by king Cenwalh.
While Wulfhere did not directly control East Anglia he controlled Lindsey and Essex.
By controlling all the surrounding lands, he probably forced East Anglia into a treaty.
Wulfhere then made Athelwalh recognize his overlordship in Sussex.
He expelled the West Saxons from Sussex and eastern Hampshire.
Expanding to the east he made his brother-in-law Frithuwold King of Surrey in 670.
When King Ecgberht of Kent died in 673 Wulfhere became the guardian of his two sons Eadric and Wihtred.
He then ruled Kent through them.
With Wulfhere's support, Theodore, the Archbishop of Canterbury presided over the Synod of Hertford in 673.
In 674 Wulfhere decided to attack Northumbria.
Oswiu's son Ecgfrith of Northumbria had put down a rebellion by the Picts when he became king.
Wulfhere formed an alliance of most of the southern kings with the exception of Wessex.
The southern alliance under Wulfhere was defeated by Ecgfrith in battle.
While Wulfhere survived he was forced to pay tribute to Ecgfrith.
He soon lost his authority in Kent.
Possibly in revenge for not joining him in fighting Northumbria, Wulfhere attacked Wessex.
He was defeated by King Aescwine of Wessex in 674.
Wulfhere died in early 675.
He was succeeded as king by his brother Aethelred.
Wulfade, executed by his father.
Rufinus, executed by his father.
Wereberga, later Saint Wereberga, Abbess of Ely.
Coenred, King of Mercia and finally a monk at Rome.

Automatic behaviour is the name for a set of actions that occur (or that continue to occur), without conscious thought.
Usually, they are guided by a part of the nervous system that is called autonomic nervous system, or visceral nervous system.
Automatic behaviour is like a reflex.
Inherited normal behaviours: for example blinking and leaning back when something is waved in front of face.
Learned normal behaviours: cycling is a good example.
Also any sport or dance training aims to make proper behaviours automatic.
Another example is simply walking without bumping into other people.

The Battle of Long Island was a major battle in the American war of independence.
It is also known as the Battle of Brooklyn or the Battle of Brooklyn Heights.
The battle which was fought on August 27, 1776, was a major victory for the British and defeat for the Americans under General George Washington.
It was the start of a successful British campaign that gave the British control of the strategically important city of New York.
In the American Revolutionary War it was the first major battle to take place after the United States declared independence in July, 1776.
In terms of soldiers, it was the largest battle of the entire conflict.
General George Washington, Commander-in-Chief had defeated the British in the Siege of Boston on March 17, 1776.
Washington then used the Continental Army to defend the port city of New York.
At that time, New York City was only at the southern end of Manhattan Island.
Washington understood that the city's harbor would provide an excellent base for the British Navy during the campaign.
For this reason, he established defenses there and waited for the British to attack.
The British were commanded by General William Howe.
In July his force landed a few miles across the harbor on sparsely-populated Staten Island.
Over the next few months, new ships slowly reinforced their position in Lower New York Harbor.
In August there were 32,000 soldiers, and the British controlled the entrance of the harbor at The Narrows.
Washington knew that it would be difficult to hold the city against such a force.
He believed Manhattan would be the first target and he moved most of his forces there.
On August 22, the British landed on the shores of Gravesend Bay in southwest Kings County, across The Narrows from Staten Island, more than 12 miles (20 km) south from the East River crossings to Manhattan.
Washington brought some of his troops to northern Kings County, expecting to fight only part of the attacking army.
After five days of waiting, the British attacked American defenses.
Unknown to the Americans, however, Howe had brought his main army around their rear and attacked their flank soon after.
The Americans panicked, although a stand by 400 Maryland troops prevented most of the army from being captured.
The remainder of the army fled to the main defenses on Brooklyn Heights.
The British dug in for a siege but, on the night of August 29–30, Washington evacuated the entire army to Manhattan without the loss of materiel or a single life.
Washington and the Continental Army were driven out of New York entirely after the battle of Fort Washington and other defeats, and forced to retreat through New Jersey and into Pennsylvania.

It reached 7 on the UK Singles Chart.

Robert Smith was guitarist in the band's 1979 tour for Join Hands.
He joined the group again in 1982 to replace John McGeoch.
He left in 1984 because he said that being in two bands at once was too much stress.
He was replaced by John "Valentine" Carruthers.
Before he left he wanted his time with the band to be documented, so the band released a cover of the Beatles' "Dear Prudence" with Smith on guitar.
Peter Edward Clark, known as Budgie, also joined the band for the Join Hands tour.
He stayed a member until the band broke up.
In 1987 Carruthers left and was replaced with Jon Klein.
