carl: how about The Geysers in northern California, the world's largest single source of geothermal power... or the CalEnergy Navy I flash geothermal power plant at the Coso geothermal field.

More on The Geysers:

The Northern California Power Agency will use solar energy to help generate geothermal energy at the Geysers geothermal field north of Calistoga. The agency will install 6,300 solar modules on an existing water pumping station that takes wastewater from Lake County and places it deep underground. Earth's heat turns the water into steam, which power plants on the surface use to generate electricity. The agency operates two power plants at the Geysers. They are using wastewater to generate geothermal power, and using solar to power the wastewater pump. The $8.2 million project will be designed and built by SPG Solar of Novato and should be finished by September 2008.
