Mining heat stored in rocks in the Earth's crust could meet a growing portion of U.S. electricity demand, replacing aging nuclear and coal plants with an environmentally friendly alternative, researchers say.

I just wonder when are we going to wake up and start using these better energy sources to our advantage? Would it be that hard to instead of runing our planet into the ground with polution to actualy use a better way to get the energy we all depend on?

This is just one of many clean better technologies that are available to us to use to cut the dependency on forign oil.
