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."
What about the unique geological features destroyed in countless countries to give us oil and electricity and other things we all take for granted?
Or are they not a problem because its not in your backyard?
Would it be OK if Yellowstone was in Canada or Brazil?

Fifty, thanks for asking. :-) Look at it this way - I've had a lot more time to watch porn than you have.
I looked at "Kate's Playground"; girl needs to lose the "boy panties", they aren't sexy. Other than that, yep, the lady is a looker.
I've fallen off your lawn, and I can't get up.
By not invading them?
By not using the CIA to subvert their governments and install despots instead?
By ratifying international treaties like Kyoto?
By not treating international law like a plaything and undermining the whole basis of international cooperation?
