BBC Horizons program on Fuel for Thought covers Hydroshearing and the implications that it has for the geothermal industry by interviewing Susan Petty, founder of Altarock.

In a video from the BBC program Horizons, Hydroshearing is presented and explained by Susan Petty, founder of Altarock. One of the main issues covered is the innovative solution that the company has developed to address water from leaking in the initial sections of the borehole by injecting small biodegradable plastic particulates that prevent it from being dispersed underground.
