The rift valley is nothing new, though the recent activity is faster than geologists expected.
Reading the article made me wonder why we don't use geothermal power more. Does anyone know what makes it expensive? Surely being virtually free heat, it should be by far the cheapest? Its also the greenest.
This is taking place in the poorest corner of Africa, surely harnessing it could be an economic boom?

I just watched a science channel show about the splitting of Africa and is seems the entire region is going to change where the low lands will be covered in a shallow sea like they have shown was in present day Egypt, where the pyramids were made with rock that had embedded inside life forms shown to be fossils billions of years old.
