News -02-06-07 Funding Can Make Geothermal Competitive With Coal Plants (Christian Science Monitor) "With such funding, the cost of enhanced geothermal power could fall from 8 to 9 cents a kilowatt hour today to less than 5 cents as the technology is deployed, making it competitive even with big coal-fired power plants, the MIT report says. Because EGS emits little carbon dioxide, it could become competitive with coal power if regulation makes carbon emissions costly." 02-07 Papers Geothermal (EERE.Energy.gov) "Geothermal energy technologies use the heat of the earth for direct-use applications, geothermal heat pumps, and electrical power production. Research in all areas of geothermal development is helping to lower costs and expand its use. In the United States, most geothermal resources are concentrated in the West, but geothermal heat pumps can be used nearly anywhere." 01-06 Geothermal Energy (Australian Renewable Energy Website) Describes and provides diagrams of types of geothermal electric generators. 12-00 Ocean Thermal Energy (ACRE) Describes and provides diagrams of types of ocean thermal energy generation. 12-00 Texas to Pursue Geothermal Power (ABC News) "Texas has awarded the state's first lease for geothermal energy production to a company planning to explore the renewable energy's potential along seven Gulf Coast counties." 02-07
