Have you ever seen how robust Swiss buildings are? They're planning on surviving an up close and personal nuclear war fer cryin' out loud!

Maybe they shouldn;t have cancelled the nuke at Kaiseraugst.

I figured it would have been from Michael Moore deciding to take a morning jog.

A lawyer's dream come true. Wait until the lawyers in the U.S. find out about this. They'll all be heading to California and Alaska.

Funny how it doesn't show up on earthquake maps.

The aim is to develop at first co-generation power plant from an enhanced geothermal reservoir. Projected is a power production of 3 MWe and a heat production of 20 MWe for the local district heating grid.


From the article:
The plan, if the project is successful, is to build a power plant delivering heat to 2,700 homes and electricity to around 10,000.

Geopower estimates that it will cost SFr80 million ($66.3 million) to build the installation.

Looking at larger quantities, 1 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas is enough to meet the needs of approximately 10,000 - 11,000 American homes for one year.

1 billion (1,000,000,000 cubic feet (1 bcf) = 1.027 trillion Btu


Northern Illinois gas rates are approximately one cent ($.01) per cubic foot delivered. (IIRC)



What do they do with the waste heat in the summer?
