LOL...it's still just a 'Hole'.

"They are going to have all sorts of scientific intruments down in the well to measure creep, stress, and who knows what"

Creep and stress as a precursory indicator of future quakes has had limited success from what I've seen thusfar...though there may be some cases around to the contrary.

In addition, the Parkfield experiment has gobs of data on all the little poppers going off around there. I don't see them using any of their data to predict even one of the little poppers.

I got an idea, let's repeat the same thing but on a grander scale!

Yeah...I know...I'm just "digging a deeper hole for myself"...OR is that Their (earthscope) line. :-)

Just my $.02 worth

p.s. (IMHO,I support their end goals but disagree with their resource allocations...but then again
I'm not them...:-)
