Multiple Streams of Energy
December 17th, 2008 admin
Solar and wind generated electrons are the media darlings sharing the center stage of the current renewable energy revolution currently unfolding before us. Geothermal energy is the lesser known of the green applications getting ready to be tapped for the so-called green grid. The Leathers Geothermal Power Plant in California is staking its share in the new economy by pressurizing the steamy, volcanic stew from hundreds of miles below the surface to turn turbines and thus producing clean power. Other potential areas for geothermal-electric generation is the northern “Ring of Fire” a large circumference of volcanism in the Pacific, like Mount Spur near Anchorage, Alaska, a sure bet to produce large amounts of inexhaustible power required to satisfy Sarah Palin’s dry cleaning needs.
