alt Hacker News70-75% is good efficiency. So did they use an existing old oil well? What are the construction costs of this? I mean it's great they built it quickly but I'm wondering if they built it quickly because the digging had already been done.

oil, and the inevitable gas from even a spent well would be a huge complication, which I think would get a big mention if they had ALL THAT!, worked out, as there are millions of retrofits then availible, right now so.I think they are leveraging tech derived from the "drill baby drill" industry in dry rock, and adding water
Have to wonder how they calculated that value... =3
