This could make us energy independent with a few years. The graph is in billions of cubic feet. so add nine (9) zeros to the numbers.

*yawn* No you're whining.

There are many problems with this.

1. It will not bankrupt the USA and that is what the Liberal/Marxist need.
2. This will not raise energy prices
3. Without higher energy prices its harder to make people dependent on government
4. If people are not dependent on government Liberalism/Marxism can fail.
5. Useing fossil fuels directly to make electricity is greener than windmills, and less polluting.

I could go on, natural gas will be taxed to prevent its use. With only weak energy sources like solar, wind, and geothermal, we will lose more industry.

Electric rates are already too high, over 200 bucks a month for one of my freinds, others pay even more. I pay less because I am never home.

So go ahead dumb asses, support green energy, you will have to pay a lot more and you will be polluting the earth and using up the natural resources faster and that is exactly what the liberal/marxist/environuts want. They want to destroy the world, just read what they say, they hate people, from abortion to turning corn into ethanol, Liberal/Marxist/Environuts want to hurt people, its that clear.

Old Crock, I already addressed, the guy is either real stupid or knows eventually I will get tired, the environut does not even address any post that discredits his post, hell, over and over you can take Old Crocks sources and prove old crock wrong.

What a joke, but that is why they are environuts, its all about telling big lies to the public so they make money and we suffer, so they are in power and we suffer.

Where is Old Crock in this thread, Old Crock you keep useing the same source you used here you are using in other threads. So why hide Old Crock. Where is your rebuttal. I guess you know you cannot support your dumb idea that geothermal is a good idea.

Geothermal is a power source used for a hundred years, a mature technology that has reached is peak, a complete waste of money

This thread and LOL in environment are the same, check out how Old Crock in LOL shows geothermal to be extremely expensive, polluting and unreliable. Thanks Old Crock, you are your own worst enemy.

Lol

You talking to me

I have never paid very much for natural gas, and I used it for heating my home for many many years.

You are a psycho..

Sorry, but a USMB thread is not a SOURCE. And yes- you are hard-up for Old Rocks. Stop stalking him, and then jacking off at all his posts, freak.

City of Klamath Falls :: Geothermal Utility

Geothermal Utility

The City of Klamath Falls Geothermal Utility provides cost effective heating services utilizing a renewable, non-polluting "green" resource. The City of Klamath Falls is located in a Known Geothermal Resource Area (KGRA). Utilizing geothermal water supplied from wells producing 200-220 degree water, the City operates a geothermal utility system which provides heating services to commercial and government buildings throughout the downtown core area as well as geothermal sidewalk and bridge snow melt systems. The sidewalk and bridge snow melt systems provide safety and convenience throughout the winter months that would not be obtainable without low cost geothermal energy.

A significant benefit of geothermal heating is the reduced energy costs compared to alternate heating sources. As other heating sources continue to experience substantial cost increases, the cost of providing geothermal heat remains low along with providing a much higher heating efficiency than other heat sources.

During the summer of 1983, investigators from several institutions collaborated in an intensive study
of the geothermal resource at Klamath Falls. Funded largely by grants from the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE), scientists from Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL), Stanford University, and the
Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT) were co-investigators under the terms of a proposal submitted
to DOE by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Participation by USGS personnel was funded by
the USGS Geothermal Research Program.
The work included tracer studies by Stanford University, a pumping and injection test by LBL,
temperature studies and collection of aquifer-discharge and use data by OIT, and sampling for
chemical analysis by USGS.
The principal objectives of the investigation, as stated in the proposal to DOE, was to acquire "from
the shallow geothermal reservoir at Klamath Falls... chemical and hydraulic data on which to base
predictions of reservoir performance, and an evaluation of potential for development." The major
purpose "is to provide interested parties in Klamath Falls with scientific data to be used to evaluate
alterative for the future of the geothermal resource; a second purpose is to assess potential impacts
of possible alternatives." It is also expected that "knowledge gained in the investigation can be used
to aid in the evaluation of other fault-controlled geothermal systems." Clearly, it is not the purpose
of this study to recommend specific courses of action regarding the development of the geothermal
resource at Klamath Falls; but rather, to provide the scientific data that will be required for decisionmaking
by agencies and citizens in Klamath Falls.

Oregon's budget deficits growing big-time

Posted: Feb 20, 2009 01:48 PM PST
Oregon's lawmakers, governor got clearer picture Friday of revenue gap - and it wasn't pretty
Governor, lawmakers weigh in on latest bleak figures
From The Associated Press and KTVZ.COM news sources

SALEM (AP) - State Economist Tom Potiowsky says the Oregon budget deficit has grown to $850 million for the current biennium and will top $2.5 billion for 2009-11, forcing even deeper cuts than anticipated.
