Alaska Looks To Volcanos For Geothermal Energy

Iddo Genuth writes "Alaskan state officials have recently announced their intention to begin funding the exploration and surveying of Alaska's largest volcanoes in hopes of utilizing these as a source of geothermal energy. They say this volcano could provide enough energy to power thousands of households, and according to some estimates, Alaska's volcanoes and hot springs could supply up to 25% of the state's energy needs."

Each state should fend for itself!

That's my plan. We currently have too much goverment 'wealth distribution' Each state should use its own resources. If a state has a surplus, let it sell it. If there's not enough resources to support the population the population needs to spread to more appropriate places. I hear Montana is nice this time of year. States like California have a disproportunate (sp) amount of the countries resources. All border states are moving in this direction due to illegal immigration. (BTW, I believe we have the resources to support controlled/legal immigration, not the free for all and border chaos we have now)

I'm not saying it's a good plan, but obama would like it, because it's Change! ;)

Discuss amongst yourselves.

I'm going to go ahead and mod myself -1 Troll. I am interested in yalls opinions though.

What could possibly go wrong?!

2101: [snip stuff about Judge Cal the mad despot] The powerful mutant Father Earth leads a massed attack on Mega-City One, destroying Power Tower (a controlled volcano) and unleashing a flood of lava, before being stopped. A few months later, an invasion of mutant spiders leads to the burning of entire sectors.
