<P>I received the following email today concerning El Tatio and Puchuldiza
Geysers, Chile. My understanding --from reading the Santiago newspaper online
for the last several months-- is that the government has issued a license for
immediate geothermal exploration at El Tatio (and presumably from the email,
Puchuldiza too). A <A title=http://www.google.cl/
href="http://www.google.cl/">www.google.cl</A> search for "Tatio" will
find a few relevant stories.</FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>Not good at all, obviously. However, since I don't read Spanish, might it
be possible for somebody to provide a translation or two?</DIV>

<P>I am sure that the sender would be happy to hear from anyone interested in
the situation.</FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>Will do, although i'm not sure who we _really_ need to write to.</DIV>
