Volcano Plus Water Equals Energy

" pumping water into the volcano sounds suspiciously like fracking."

Here's a quarter. Buy a dictionary.

Love to see it cause an earthquake

The ad on the left is a large breasted woman wearing an anti-Romney Tee shirt and the ad on the left is for TruMoo chocolate milk.

Coincidence?

Wait the one on the right is the girl the one on the left is the milk.

I'd like to blame this gaff on this nasty head cold I have but in all reality I would have made the error even on a clear thinking day.

Pretty pristine place to install a geothermal facility.

Newberry crater contains Paulina Lake and East Lake. Hope they don't screw 'em up.

Diarrhea is giving Eddie a run for the money as the stupidest cunt on DR.

WTF is wrong with you? To score a political point? And I bet you wonder why people call you AssHouse.

This is old news. Check out iceland

Stop staring at the breasts of my future ex-wife. I'll admit they're a wonder to behold, but please...your drooling is making her a tad skittish.

Geothermal is well established. If it works, then good.

I am pretty sure I do not give a fuck.

lol .. thx Mr Sprey ..
ooops .. yet again, you are Charlie Brown minus a football

from the article:
Wells are drilled deep into the rock and water is pumped in, creating fractures in the rock, a process known as hydroshearing

from Wiki:
Fracking refers to the procedure of creating fractures in rocks and rock formations by injecting fluid into rock

memo to Chesapeake Energy asap .. change to the "hydroshearing" technology for extracting energy asap .. IT"S GREEN!

How much of this water is recovered?

"How much of this water is recovered?"

I doubt any of it will stay in the volcano.

I support not fucking with volcanoes.

Toss in a Virgin to appease the Gods and all will be fine.

on a related note -

Jan 15:
Saudi state oil giant Aramco inked a deal Saturday with China's Sinopec to build an oil refinery in the Red Sea city of Yanbu that will process 400,000 barrels per day

my grandchildren will be paying 75 Yuan per gallon at the pump thx to Obama, the Dems, & the enviro-wackos

More tax dollars for green nonsense. Say, pumping water into the volcano sounds suspiciously like fracking.

Your stupidity is staggering.

Geothermal can be much cheaper than coal.

Geothermal doesn't seek to break apart rocks nor do they use toxic chemicals.

Seriously, were you dropped on your head as a child? Repeatedly?

Did these people never see Joe vs. the Volcano? I think it's a bad idea to throw stuff into volcanoes.

Actually, I'm kidding. If this is done carefully, it could be a great idea.

No, it's a bad idea to NOT appease the volcano gods.

Spud, for one, welcomes our new Volcanic overlords.

/Spud keeds. Good albeit silly movie.

Nobody's ever been able to make Geo-thermal cost effective yet but Spud has faith that humanity will get there yet.

Moving off of fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy will take time but by the time the process is complete nobody will ever be able to imagine it happening any other way.

This thought amuses Spud.

Be Well.

Geothermal power isn't nonsense, dumbass. It would help end our dependency on foreign oil. We could have it done in 10 years were it not for neanderthals.

Yea, and those fucking cromagnons added another 18 months!

Agreed, but the system is really quite simple and less invasive than actually fracking for gases and oil near and through the water table.

And, this has been successfully heating and powering ALL of Iceland for some time now. They are luckily situated to take advantage of so much free energy.

They also have hydrogen and electric vehicles = almost no importation of gasoline.

Scientific American One Hot Island: Iceland's Renewable Geothermal Power
..
Historically, Icelanders used Earth's heat directly for washing and baking the "hot spring bread" known as hverabrauth. In 1930 water from boreholes drilled into geothermal springs in Laugardalur, just east of the capital city of Reykjavik, was piped to Austurbaer primary school about two miles (three kilometers) away.

Whereas district heating in Iceland is straightforwardâ€"naturally pressurized "low temperature" geothermal fields containing potable water at temperatures less than 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) are common throughout the country, according to Reykjavik Energy, the regional power authority that includes Iceland's capital cityâ€"it wasn't until the first oil shock of the early 1970s that Icelanders got serious about exploiting their native energy resources. Ãsgeir Margeirsson, CEO of Geysir Green Energy, says that at the time homes in Iceland were almost entirely dependent on oil heat.

By financing thermal and electric power plants throughout the country, as well as the infrastructure required to deliver hot water to homes, the Icelandic government not only eliminated the country's dependence on fossil fuels for heating and electricity, but also jump-started an entire industry, according to Alexander Richter, Director of Sustainable Energy, Global Research and Communication at Glitnir Bank.

Iceland is now the leading exporter of geothermal expertise to the rest of the world, according to the Trade Council of Iceland. The nation's engineers, geologists and financiers work on projects anywhere there are incentives (as in Germany, which has a feed-in tariff on geothermal of 20 cents per kilowatt-hour) or easily-tapped reservoirs of underground heat (as in the Philippines). Iceland's third-largest bank, Glitnir, helped finance the world's biggest geothermal district heating project in the city of Xianyang, China, and it retains a staff of geologists to evaluate the potential of early stage drilling projects, such as one it financed in Nevada, Richter says.

They are talking about a closed loop. They ain't going to just dump water into the damn hole. They will drill a large hole, hook a in and an out pipe to a heat exchanger and lower that into the dormant volcano.

Is that a wart on Mitt's nose or is she happy to see me?

Just when you think Diablo is taking over from Eddie...

I'm sure it will require a lot of tax payer's money to build that stupid tea pot.

That's the spirit, you sad, stupid fuck!

Hey, perhaps some of those people you've fired will find jobs in a new economy powered by this renewable, clean resource?

"Who's the worst little Oregonian that ever was? That's right.. it's still you."

Okay, sounds great. I now live in Miami. Where's the closest Volcano? Probably Mexico or Carribean. How do we get that energy here?

Crisis

Gedtting heat from the earth has been tried many times and the success has not been good. If it's private money, get it on. If it's tax money, fuck you. FU DHS

"It would help end our dependency on foreign oil."

The greens keep saying that and yet we are still depending on foreign oil.

That's because there is NO good way to fuel a car or truck without using an oil product. That includes coal in some form.

.... BP Would Be Proud!

**** "We know the heat is there," said Sue "The big issue is will we cause a major BLOW OUT and a Gigantic EARTHQUAKE...by pumping that much water into a....VOLCANO ???"

The sun is hot too. Why don't you greenies run a pipe up there and when you're done, run it up your ass.
