Just read an article about geothermal energy research in the U.S. When the gas lines several years ago were long, the U.S. drilled holes all over the United States looking for likely geothermal sites and found some good prospects. But when the price of oil fell, the government lost interest.
There is one company that purchased one site and is actually gearing up to generate electricity from the steam created in a deep well. Some are estimating that in the U.S. alone there are enough geothermal sites to provide all of our electricity needs for the next 300,000 years. Current technology is available for drilling deep wells and installing the pumps required. All we need is the will to do it. It sounds like an intriguing idea; no pollution nor global warming prospects. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
