*** Back in the 70s, Brown blew $600million on The Geysers, a geo thermal power plant that never produced a single KW. He was never held accountable for the waste and fraud.***
About the same time, in New Mexico, a geo-thermal power plant was scheduled to go on line. they were drilling, the turbines had already been bought and made, then when they hit the thermal pool there wasn’t enough steam to turn the turbines.
I saw the trubines for sale in Power Engineering magazine a few months later.
That's what happened at the Geysers. Ninety geologists were hired to evaluate the steam potential. Only two wrote that there wasn't enough for what they were proposing. One of those two geologists wrote a book about the whole fiasco.
Governor Jerry Brown's many splendored things: The rise & fall of the California Department of Water Resources' $600 million geothermal energy program for the State Water Project 1976-1991 R.I.P — By Eugene H BoudreauBoudreau chronicles the corruption and incompetance that cost Cal taxpayers a fortune. NO ONE WAS EVER HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. Gov. Moonbeam, least of all. Now this idiot is campaigning on reviving California's economy by promoting "Green Industry." God help us. Are Californian's THAT stupid? to fall for this crap, again? Abetted by the media and the Kelptocrats in charge, California sheep are once again being led to slaughter.
