This Week in Geothermal Opinion: Why we should reconsider geothermal energy

Bryan Welch of Mother Earth News writes “The development of geothermal electric generation – or the lack of development – precisely illustrates our lack of vision when it comes to energy policy. Geothermal energy is virtually limitless. It is very clean in most locations. Massive amounts of power can be generated from a central plant with minimal disruption to the surrounding environment, and it easily and efficiently converts to electricity, the most portable and convenient of our energy options.”
