HOUSTON — George Alcorn is a third-generation Texas oilman. His grandfather drilled for oil in the 1930s, then his father and his uncles followed suit.
When Alcorn, 51, looks into the future of his business, though, he doesn't see black oil gushing from a well — he sees steam. Alcorn recently revamped his business strategy from traditional oil exploration to using abandoned wells and drilling technology to generate geothermal energy as a way to power cities.
Ya'll clean up your act, heah?

<quoted text>If you had bothered reading your link you would have seen that the money came from President Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. I guess you have already forgotten how Perry first said he was going to refuse the money and then went around getting his picture taken handing out checks from the money he said he was going to refuse. At least Perry took the money and helped his state unlike our retard who actually refused the money and lost thousands of jobs as a result.

<quoted text>If you have read may posts you would know that I have been advocating using geothermal resources for years now. Your Right Wing buddies have been telling me that it is not a viable recourses and telling me I‘m a tree hugging idiot for advocating it. The fact is that by switching from fossil to geothermal Iceland has saved so much money it has bounced them from number three to number one standard of living.(too bad it is so frigging cold there) The west coast of the USA is loaded with geothermal resources and the entire western half of the USA could be run on geothermal. Presently California has the largest geothermal production plant in the world. But of course the Right Wings slams everything California does as liberal waste. Yet another example of the Right criticizing any liberal idea until a conservative tries to implement it. More often the Right has good ideas that as soon as the Left embraces the Right turns against like cap and trade. Don’t you think it is time for the Right to stop thinking political and start thinking practical.

My good friend, the USA is NOT iceland when it comes to geothermal resources, the USA is investing in geothermal but that is just one part of the whole when it comes to alternative energy.

<quoted text>Did I say The USA is Iceland? What I said is the saving was able increase Iceland’s standard of living. Do you understand the advantages of "savings" on the cost of energy? I also said the western half of the Country could probable run totally on geothermal. The eastern half does not have those resources. We should be using available local recourses. Wind and solar need to be supplemented because the wind don't blow all the time and the sun only shines half the time (at best). Fossil and nuke may be the best for certain areas. But if they can but supplemented by cheaper cleaner sources then they should.

Lets get back to your foolish assumptions about the western half of the USA can run on geothermal.

Totally WRONG my friend, that is totally hokey pokey drug induced gumflapping.
.
WE SIMPLY do NOT have the geothermal resources., a part of the total pie...sure, i am all for that.

STOP your blabbering, lets think rationally, OK.

Fosil fuel is just NOT about gas it's about phrama and so many other things that we take for granted in our everyday life, Alternative Energy, such as Wind, Solar, geothermal CANNOT DO that.

Let's use the fosil fuel for other than what you think it's used for.

the Geysers geothermal facility which happens to be the largest geothermal facility in the world

<quoted text>Currently everything north of San Francisco in California gets their power from the Geysers geothermal facility which happens to be the largest geothermal facility in the world. There are numerous active volcanoes that can be tapped on the west coast. Yellowstone itself is a giant volcanic caldera. So yes the resources are there.

NO they do NOT.

STOP with the fantasises.

totally bogus.

Yellowstone, produces ZERO energy.

that technology has NOT been developed to harness the energy.

So what exactly are you smoking..., I showed you a website that has to do with GEOTHERMAL enegy production, that it for the USA.

As I watched President Obama announce his decision on the birth control/religious institution issue it struck me how poised, direct and clam his demeanor was. As he explained the issue contrasting religious liberty and women health; and even as he threw in his own personal work for Catholic Parishes in poor neighborhoods where his salary was funded by a grant from an arm of the Catholic Church, he was able to once again reiterate that he’s a devote Christian (pouring cold water on those who need to try and convince people that he’s a secret Muslim), that he once worked for the Catholic Church, and that he is a champion for women’s rights, health and their freedom of choice.
But you’re too stupid and bitter to see that this has given him another opening to look like the adult in the room; the parent who steps into a messy room full of out of control kids and calmly says,“Quite down, clean up this mess and go to bed”… LOL.
