Harry Reid Pushes Nevada As "Saudi Arabia of Geothermal Energy"
An anonymous reader writes "Of all the 'mainstream' forms of renewable energy, it seems that geothermal power is always left in the shadows compared to solar and wind power. However, that looks set to change with news that the US Department of Energy will fund geothermal projects in northwestern Nevada and southeast Oregon. With funds from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, the DOE has stated a 'conditional commitment' to provide a partial guarantee for a rumored $98.5 million loan to the Nevada Geothermal Power Company (NGP). According to US Senator Harry Reid, 'Northern Nevada is the Saudi Arabia of geothermal energy.'"
Maybe. As we all learned a few years ago, when a reporter asks a politician what newspapers or magazines they read, it's a vicious partisan attack. Angle and that unaccredited quack Rand Paul, after some initial missteps, are never going to appear on a news program again, and will simply use the internet and the odd Fox News interview to do their public relations.
Don't blame me, I voted for Baltar.
The rest of you nutbags want to make alcohol illegal too?
