Diagram (IMAGE) Geological Society of America Caption Diagram of how the geothermal energy would be used for energy production, and two types of desalination (MED and AD). Red lines indicate hot water, while blue lines are cooled water. At the end of the process, distilled water would be available for consumers and aquifer storage, and the chilled water could be used in air conditioning for the plant. The whole theoretical system is carbon-neutral. Credit Thomas Missimer Usage Restrictions Credit: Courtesy of Thomas Missimer.
