ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Reno-based Ormat Technologies Inc (ORA.N) bid over $3.5 million on Wednesday for rights to explore for geothermal energy beneath an active volcano near Alaska's largest city.

The company won 15 of the 16 tracts offered for lease on Mount Spurr, a snowcapped 11,070-foot (3,374 meters) volcano, 75 miles (120 km) west of Anchorage, according to preliminary results from the sale conducted by the Alaska Division of Oil and Gas.

p.s. Those Canadian oil sands will last 1,000 years if we only use them for road asphalt. ;)

hello seeker, the doom will continue, i trust, but the correlation amongst all assets will no longer be 1, i figure

somethings should be good
- like things

some not as good
- such as paper

alternative energy should be good, and i hold my tan
conventional energy should be ok, but must trade into alternatives by and by

as to what would <<REALLY last>>, i continue to put my conviction on gold, platinum, and at some juncture, keeping it all simple, yielding real estate

btw, gold citadel is leverage free, cash positive, and market value stable, moderately above cost, meaning it has outperformed a lot of other goodies

cheers, j
