Helium Leads to Geothermal Energy Resources

Roland Piquepaille writes "When we think about alternative sources of energy, we often forget the potential of geothermal energy resources. In fact, it has been estimated that accessible geothermal energy in the U.S. represents 90 quadrillion kilowatt-hours or 3,000 times the country's total annual energy consumption. So far, it has been difficult and expensive to locate good sources of geothermal energy. But now, two U.S. researchers have found a new method which doesn't require drilling. They are using the ratio of helium isotopes in surface waters to point to the best sources of geothermal energy."

Actually Canada is the number one supplier of Oil to the U.S.

They must have weapons of mass destruction.

not really cuz without oil they'll start raising terrorist funds primarily through fraud and drugs. You think they're gonna "shut down the entire terrorism program" because of lack of funds? lol
