Geothermal Energy: The Energy of All Renewable Energies

Last night, I stumbled upon a great article in the L.A. Times about Geothermal Energy. This was quite a surprise since it is a renewable, clean energy that should have been harnessed a while ago and people are talking about it now. In the article, it is clear that many are unaware of geothermal energy (except of course if you are Google or Warren Buffet). It, in a nutshell, is a heat/steam-based source that is generated at the Earth's core. It is seemingly unlimited and the only thing that it needs to produce electricity is water. The commitments to funding this energy source were renewed when high oil prices in the U.S. and the world were experienced the last year or so. It's remarkable that it takes an economic crisis to transition our mindset on what is good for all. Clearly, geothermal energy is a natural resource that can benefit the world and no one needs to suffer financial repercussions to have it. It's make logical sense. However the "powers that be" see it otherwise.

This was a topic also discussed in the Zeitgeist: Addendum online film. Thanks to the few who commented on that post. Although the responses came off negatively, it was encouraging to read your comments. I still will give the benefit of the doubt to those who look more positively at the Venus Project. Yes, "it is too good to be true" but at least it is a step towards a higher path. All one has to do is talk about it and see its potential as a better option for human civilization.

The meme that is altruism in all peoples will prevail, without the aid of the Rapture, Jesus Christ, Allah, Yahweh or any other religious icon or scenario. There is good in all people. There just needs to be critical thinking, understanding and an open mind for enlightenment.

I hope to see more reply posts in the future.
