Geothermal, the third leg of a renewable triad

[elektra]

I've seen your posts addressing the SCOTUS, the deficit, Israel, and politics. It's really not that important. It's a matter of magnitude and application.

But but but have you seen these posts

Thread 'Geothermal Killing Iceland'

Dec 4, 2017

Geothermal is responsible for deaths in Iceland. People believe just because they label or call it Green and Clean, it is.

The Leftist Democrats have come up with the perfect names for what they sell the public. Consider it all fake news.

It is no different when they use Iceland as their example of what "clean" energy can do. Yet, there is hardly anything more polluting than Geothermal. From the millions of tons of equipment and materials it takes to maintain to the toxic brines they use for energy.

Westwall has posted about the geysers of the Calistoga area of CA generating electricity. Yes geysers can be used to generate electricity. Anything capable of producing enough heat to create steam can turn a turbine.

Liar, Oregon imports coal produced electricity from Wyoming, every year that increase.

Dumb ass. Do a little research. That plant is due to cease burning coal very soon.

PGE to take bigger stake in Boardman coal plant strikes deal to keep buying hydropower from Tribes OregonLive.com

Portland General Electric plans to increase its ownership stake in the Boardman coal plant, which is slated for shutdown or a possible conversion to run on biomass in 2020. It also has reached a tentative 10-year deal to keep buying electricity from the Pelton Round Butte...

Post in thread 'Who is for/against green living?'

Is it age? It seems a good majority of older people don't believe in clean energy.
Is it polital party? Dems seem for it, republican against it.
Is it education? Smart people like it, low/uneducated seem to be against it.

I, for one, am for it. I know right now it has issues, but can you unlock your stubborn mind for a minute and think how advanced it will be in 20 years from now? 50? 100? You have to walk before you can run. If we keep saying drill, drill, drill, it WILL run out. Don't be ignorant. I doubt it will run out in my lifetime, but I have kids, and they will have kids...

Time for majority leader Reid to push a bill banning fracking and coal ;0)

And like a true politician Democrat Reid will give a fracking exemption to the geothermal industry.

So looks like in addition to proposing a ban that kills Solar, you have now proposed a ban that will kill The Geysers Geothermal plants as well as the Geothermal Plants on the Salton Sea.

Nice work, who's side are you on?

But but but have you seen these posts

But, but, but, your pedantic responses to valid points because of your narrow view of the subject lead me to believe you've been hitting the sauce. Conversation over.

All firms of geothermal fail. You can cry and bow out. As I showed, I know more than you.

Even your exit from the conversation sucked
