[NukeNet] Geothermal Energy - MIT report

[MoJo]

Scientists at MIT have released a report that concludes that geothermal energy could be a major source of electricity.  The most readily available sources of geothermal heat are in the west, but modern technology could make available geothermal power in other areas of the United States. A press release on the report, with a link to the report itself, is at  http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2007/geothermal.html .  Here is a potential answer to people who say that nuclear power is necessary to replace fossil fuels.

"I do not believe that nuclear power is worth it if it creates radiation. Then you might ask me why do I have nuclear powered ships. That is a necessary evil. I would sink them all. I am not proud of the part I played in it. I did it because it was necessary for the safety of this country. That's why I am such a great exponent of stopping this whole nonsense of war. Unfortunately limits’ attempts to limit war have always failed. The lesson of history is when a war starts every nation will ultimately use whatever weapon it has available."  Further remarking: "Every time you produce radiation, you produce something that has a certain half-life, in some cases for billions of years. I think the human race is going to wreck itself, and it is important that we get control of this horrible force and try to eliminate it." Adm. Rickover - testimony before Congress
