Wow. Just.... wow.

I'm curious as tho exactly where you got the idea that old wells can be converted for geothermal purposes. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that you aren't a geologist, and haven't actually dealt with oil/gas wells in Alberta. Becasue if you had you'd know a few things that make the geothermal idea sound kind of contrived.

1) Most wells in Alberta are quite shallow and do not get to depths where the temperature is very high, and this would not really be suitable for geothermal purposes.

2) Alberta is not volcanically active. Something that places like say Iceland, where geothermal is power is already in wide use, most cretainly are.

So where exactly did you get this idea?
