Haim,

I agree with your post. My point at the bottom line is that this Nation..the US will not be able to be energy independent without a radical new technology. We need something like super conductivity at normal temperatures or something as wild as this idea to solve the problem.

It is interesting to think about the world energy needs. But I don't think anyone is funding a project at this point in time to understand this problem. I don't know what the "project blueprint independence" cost, but it was not cheap. We assembled all the modeling and energy experts in the US to look for solutions to the problem.

Joan

There is a definite ceiling to oil prices. Oil is an amazingly small part of the price of gasoline. Geothermal is profitable at current prices where fractures exist naturally. At higher prices this heat source is available anywhere on Earth.
