I haven't looked at most of my stuff for weeks. I'm getting to where I shouldn't watch the tube, either. Last few times I put on CNBC, there is Shrub, touting the benefits of CO2. Yesterday he said he was gonna get natural gas from BC;Sorry about that. Once an oil technocrat, always an oil technocrat.
So far, he hasn't touted the bennies of a nuke in your very own backyard. Guess the nuke industry hasn't coughed up enuf money to him yet. I don't think he can say "renewable","solar tax credit", or "geothermal", which is good; when he learns to say geothermal, he will want to drill in Yellowstone. Welcome to Old Faithless Geyser.
One of the reasons I like CPN (wish I owned some) is because they bought the geyser fields east of Santa Rosa a few years back. There is a project underway to build a pipeline to the geysers from Santa Rosa, used for sewage disposal by deep injection to recharge the geysers. Maybe the guys down south can tell you more about it.
As for me, I just bought one of the tankless water heaters; except for a pilot light, only fires up on demand. Should save a bundle over my old one, which was my biggest source of propane consumption. I'm looking in to the possibility of the El Vanada Electric Company. There is a state program which will help people on the grid go renewable; pays up to half the cost. They don't reimburse for hydro power, so I am thinking about a solar set-up with a large inverter, and then plug my own turbine into the system at fairly low cost. Screw the Shrub. The people are gonna have to solve this, not the oil companies. Is it better to screw one intern in the Oval Office, or to screw an entire nation in their collective wallets and lungs?
