Geothermal Update
23Jan08
Geothermal power seems to be an under reported source of clean energy but the link below is a good news item.From Washington State down to California there is hot magma near to the surface under the Cascade Mountains but 10-15 years seems to be a long time to wait for it to be harnessed.The Italians first used such power in 1904 .Not all Geothermal sources are hot enough to generate power but many parts of the world have great potential for heating water and thus can play a big part in reducing fossil fuel requirements.What is it like near where you live? Do you have any information to share?Geothermal in the Cascades

The Blog “North of the Hot Zone” examines Washington State and the Geothermal Challenge. The name derives from Washington State’s location north of the geothermal hot zone of Nevada and California.
The blog features some great geothermal maps of Washington State and some links to the original geologic research.

Thank you for this Lawrence,plenty of good information here to feed our curiosity and help our understanding of the potential of geothermal clean energy.:)
The Charlotte.com link said can’t locate the page requested. North of the Hot Zone is very interesting. I realised this should be a big thing for our neighbour New Zealand and I found this.
