Excuse the pun, but geothermal energy seems to be a "hot" news topic recently, so I felt this would be a good article to share.

Thanks for the article.

Its great to see the continued rise of GeoThermal generaton in Nevada.  Same goes for Solar generation. Currently, Solar and GeoThermal represent about 20% of the total generation in Nevada.

In the coming years, this will move past 40% as new Solar and GeoThermal replace the last in-state coal plant and begin to replace NG generation.

Agreed with Joe. Geothermal is unique in that you can't 'scale' it beyond where it's available, but those places where it is available are doing a disservice by not using it to its maximum potential
