I know, I know. It’s been a long time between posts. My only explanation, truth be told excuse, is it appears there’s an global conspiracy to keep me from enjoying recreation time. Until I solve this one, here’s a video that caught my attention. Enjoy.

The folks over at google.org put some money to work in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). The energy from the heat beneath the earth’s surface is essentially an unlimited resource.
