Ping!
Disappointing article.
It no doubt covers the crony corruption pretty well.
But it fails to mention that geothermal is one of the few “Green” systems that usually works well and does not transfer most of the funds to China.
We have several geothermal plants in Nevada, with good sites for several more.
We would have MUCH more geothermal if pinky Reid had not blocked several excellent sites from consideration when he snuck the “Black-Rock Wilderness and NCA” into a spending bill in order to shove it down our throats.
The black-Rock is home to several large very large, very hot, hot springs that would make great geothermal sites.
So long as they are PRIVATELY funded without Fed. involvement I support geothermal as it is a mature technology that actually works.
If this company is failing they either intended to fail, or made some bad decisions early on, probably counting on Harry and the Fed. to cover their errors.
Location, mineral content of the water, technology, are all critical to a successful geothermal plant.
I also take STRONG exception to the article referring to Nevada land as being “Federal Land”, that is a fight that has not been settled yet, the Fed. claim is unconstitutional.
