The Obama Administration’s push to explore geothermal energy in northern California has fallen behind schedule.
Why?
Earthquake worries, based on what happened at a similar project in Switzerland.
Increasing earthquakes anywhere near the Bay Area is disturbing. Also disturbing is the project’s company Alta California, as it tries to distort and gloss over what happened in Switzerland.
And, beyond that, geothermal spots in general are in seismically sensitive areas!
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
