Brady Hot Springs in Nevada is an interesting site seeing various research on geothermal technologies as described by an interesting article by the Geothermal Technologies Office.

While posted about three weeks ago, this article is still quite interesting. Published by the Geothermal Technologies Office in the U.S. it describes the geothermal activities at Brady Hot Springs, in Nevada.

As an existing geothermal production field with a diverse geology amenable to both hydrothermal resources and Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), Brady Hot Springs in Nevada has been a target of geothermal development for decades. Over the last six years the site has become a hotbed of activity for innovative geothermal research and development (R&D). Since 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO) has funded a wide array of innovative geothermal R&D and demonstration projects toward the mission of accelerating and developing domestic geothermal electricity and energy, including game-changing EGS technology.
