geothermal sounds extremely promising when I visited Crater Lake when camping in Oregon, I got a nice exposure to large geothermal potentials unsure if any of that project made it past planning they wanted to supply a big pctage of SanFran power unsure here if you refer to household scale on geo if so, then still great promise the ambient temp down under is 55 degrees the differential can power generators in midsummer and midwinter in summer, use higher temp above ground in winter, use higher temp below ground the trouble I see is no national initiative that will change when Saudi Arabia sees its inevitable coup this country still offers the best govt money can buy right now the entire military has embarked on oil corporation field support if instead, $100 billion were devoted to fuel cell research or geothermal, then in 5-10 years, we could actually relieve 50% of our foreign energy dependence as it stands, I see NO POSSIBILITY of moving away from oil dependence our needs next month and next quarter dictate our every move I like coastal sun-powered ocean water separators to extract hydrogen Calif, Mexico, Texas, Florida, Georgia, SCarolina fuel cells and electric cars (hybrids next) are the path wind & sun power and geothermal are drops in the bucket I could be wrong about household geo watch fuel cell cars blossom and Japan will take 95% market share as #17 in education among the top 17 industrialized nations, the USA has no chance in leading anything as our govt is commandeered by major corporate interests, the USA has no chance in leading anything off the beaten paths my two cents / jim
