Geothermal, Geothermal, Geothermal...I can't say it enough.
Green Energy is like a 4 legged table. Solar, Wind, Geothermal and Hydrogen fuel energies support the table top.
The 3rd leg of the green energy table is Geothermal Energy and is greatly ignored by the general public. Windmills and Solar farms are very visible, easy to understand and extremely popular. Geothermal on the other hand is literally underground and out of sight.
"Out of Sight, Out of Mind" has been the rule.
Geothermal is the only practical commercial energy system that is as efficient and can rival the fossil fuel energy production systems. Geothermal uses the similar drilling technology as the oil industry, only in our case, if a spill occurs it is hot water, not oil.
Bill Gates just announced on ABC News' This Week, that he was getting in to the renewable energy industry. He would like to enter the revolution (evolution) with a lot of funding, billions. He wants to promote the industry to be the world innovation leader, as he did with computers and software. Steve Jobs (Apple) has been on this page for some time. They believe, as many do, that this is the only real solution to our financial crisis and energy needs.
On that same program Robert Reich (Economy Professor UC Berkley and former Secretary of Labor) emphasized that California is the leader in Green Innovation. "Everything Good and Bad starts in California", "California is the future". (Robert Reich).
A positive Public Relations and "Technology Sharing" campaigns are the areas that are severely lacking.
The lack of public awareness of Geothermal potential is disgraceful. Geothermal is the only practical commercial energy system that is as efficient and can rival the fossil fuel energy production systems. Geothermal uses the similar drilling technology as the oil industry, only in our case if a spill occurs it is hot water, not oil.
