http://stevecotler.com/tales/2009/09/27/geothermal-energy-public-nuisance/ One man's squint at the metaphorical signposts, songbirds, soapboxes, street musicians, and hot dog stands of life. Criticism, lyricism, polemics, performance, and making change...all with mustard.

CA Mon, 25 Jan 2010 01:12:20 +0000 http://stevecotler.com/tales/?p=2626#comment-1527 Thank you for the information that your your article provides! I am a neighbor of geothermal on High Valley Road in Cobb Mountain, in an area north of the Anderson Springs community. I had no idea that the ASCA was exposing geothermal as a nuisance because of the earthquakes. Mr. Colter, you are right in reporting that local papers rarely report on the geothermal impacts to the environment and the community. My High Valley community has been significantly impacted by the illegal activities of our neighborhood geothermal power plant, Bottle Rock Power. We are all very concerned with the air and water pollution from H2S, and the array of hazardous chemicals the neighborhood is getting exposed to, caused by geothermal operations. Living next to a geothermal operation is like living next to an active volcano, the ground shakes, the air stinks with unknown acrid chemicals; you don't know how it affecting your health for the short or long term. And, Ladd Biggerstaff, I am not a NIMBY, I was here prior to the the power plant, and if they really were a clean green energy source, I wouldn't be commenting but it just isn't so....

Jimenez Soto Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:28:47 +0000 http://stevecotler.com/tales/?p=2626#comment-1277 To whom it may be interested, My name is Luisa Jimenez. I am living in a very rural area south of Munich (Germany), called Haunshofen. At the moment we are trying to stop the creation of a Geothermal plant in the middle of our forest. We have created our own commitee (or alliance). I will be VERY thankful if someone could make contact with me and tell me your experiences with the Geothermal plant, their effects in the ecology and in the life of your town. We are very concerned about the possible damages in our forest and our homes. I have read here, that you have had some problems as well, but the details (an pictures) are missing. Please feel free to contact me at bi.energiequellen(at)gmx.de. Thanks. Luisa To whom it may be interested,
