I also fail to see why you are throwing that 150 year marker out. We already have dead wells that can be converted to geothermal. And over time, guess what... the power production from dead wells via this technology will be enormous. But I guess you are not aware about this, nor that it would be a closed cycle! I.E. Pump water up, take energy, let water settle. How in the hell does that impact clean water supplies?

I fail to see how you can laugh this away. It should be what YOU want...

This is absolutely nothing like what I want. It is so ****ing far away from what I want, it's not even the same sport, let alone same playing field.

The reality is that in 150 years (when another poster suggested the oil would run out) who knows if that water will even still be there. Let alone the huge environmental impacts hydro electricity produces. Are you unfamiliar with the huge severences aboriginal people in Quebec are getting from Quebec Hydro? Do some research into that, than praise your geothermal energy.

In all honesty, I've heard of this energy, not too familiar with it as the technology and infrastructure has not been even close to starting to be discussed about developing, but as far as I'm concerned, it's one of those things corporations that are benefitting from oil throw out there to appease whatever concerns people might have. Once it actually is being utilized, I'll start singing a different tune. The idea of utilizing the huge environmental mess these companies have produced somewhat appeals to me, but I think it's funny how the oil companies are now saying "Well, jeez, it sure is a good thing we destroyed all those ecosystems, because now we can pick up where the oil left off for energy"

Please...
