There are many areas in the North American continent where geothermal is viable. Unfortunately, the returns are not as rapid nor as great as they are drilling for oil and, as a result, it is difficult to get projects funded.

sometimes stupid IS painful...

clearly, a serious case of the munchies....

one tough wahine - if I tried that, I would be in shock before I got halfway into that water...

Kind of an idiot (excuse me, simplistic) view of taxation - assuming the only purpose of taxes is to ensure that every citizen lives as well as every other one.
