[Geysers] Casper Trib article

[Ott, Stephen]

"While the United States currently uses about 4 trillion kilowatts
annually, the energy produced from just 3 percent of the caldera via
steam generators would provide 10 trillion kilowatts a year," said
Green.

 

I would like to see this calculation.  I want to keep an open mind, but
this amount of energy from geyser steam power seems absolutely absurd to
me.  I doubt that the entire park could produce the power that the city
of Bozeman uses.
