This presentation cannot seek to give 'answers'
Its aim is to hopefully stir up interest and awareness
Are we considering all possibilities?
Can we adapt heat mining technology and design it to our needs?
Are we ready to make a bold step in reducing oil import dependence?
Are we content with reducing our carbon emissions by just a tiny fraction? |
During the fourteen years that I've lived in Switzerland, the Germans have been the world's staunchest supporters of green power and alternative energy. Their aggressive development of wind power was breathtaking, as was their warm embrace of photovoltaic power.
The U.S. geothermal power industry is poised for a bit more rapid growth now that the U.S. Department of Energy's geothermal development program is maturing with demonstration-stage pilots. This acceleration of growth also will be spurred on by an increasing number of municipalities and utilities that are turning to geothermal as an alternative energy option for either renewable mandate or investment reasons, industry executives say. While the U.S. geothermal power market is still somewhat tepid in comparison to the international market, U.S. technology exports will help U.S. companies weather the wait for a more rapid domestic market expansion.
