Glyn,
I live about 60 miles from Mt. Lassen which is an active volcano and has all kinds of thermal activity. In the past years, they have done two or three studies on tapping into some of the active steam vents to generate power and then just dropped it. I guess the whole study thing was just get the millions that they were paid and then do nothing. And never mention nuclear power plants here as all these people can see is mushroom clouds. I can't even convince them that the Chernobyl (spelling), explosion wasn't a nuclear one. We have power from the dam, but the environmentalists refuse to let any more dams be built. I don't have an answer, but they need to start getting serious about doing something instead of talking to get votes.
