    As long as Monsanto can sue farmers whose crops get "polluted" by pollen from GM crops, we have a serious problem.

  5. In 1981 on Harry Reid Pushes Nevada As "Saudi Arabia of Geothermal Energy" · · Score: 1

    I was part of a crew that put in a geothermal installation at New Mexico State University the still provides hot water to the dorms and heats the 2 swimming pools. Four and a half miles of insulated pipe, a heat exchanger and a 25,000 gallon hot water tank. The University Presidents house has it's own system. So this isn't all that new. The only things that would improve it are better piping and shallower hot water. We had wells delivering 142 degrees F at the wellhead but they were in the 950 foot range and that is expensive.

    This is why there is a case involving Monsanto's GM alfalfa going to the Supreme Court this term. An Idaho farmer wants to know how Monsanto can keep their product from infecting his "organic" crop.
    Many people are afraid of possible side effects of the coming "frankenfoods". Since it is impossible to control pollen travel, the Idaho case will be interesting.
