Learn about the programs and plans. - From mongabay.com - http://news.mongabay.com/2008/1215-geothermal.html
Alaska has more geothermal resources than any other state in the ... __ "Alaska has more geothermal resources than any other state in the country, and yet none of these resources has been developed for power generation prior to 2006. In 2004, Chena Hot Springs Resort entered into a partnership with United Technologies Corporation (UTC) to demonstrate their moderate temperature geothermal ORC power plant technology at Chena Hot Springs." Read about the project. - illustrated - From yourownpower.com - http://www.yourownpower.com/Power/

Geothermal Power: Beginning To Get The Attention It Deserves __ "Geothermal is base load power. Utilities have a strong preference towards base load and dispatchable power generation (basically power which is always on, or power which they can turn on at will.) In fact, geothermal plants often have capacity factors 86-95%, well above traditional base load generation such as coal." This and other reasons geothermal is getting popular. - From seekingalpha.com - http://seekingalpha.com/article/50732-geothermal-power-beginning-to-get-the-attention-it-deserves
Geothermal Power Heats Up in a Down Economy __ "2009 could prove to be the year of geothermal in the U.S. The number of new geothermal projects in the country has risen 25 percent since last August alone, according to report out this week from the Geothermal Energy Association, an industry trade group."
