Why are we not discussing geothermal energy when we live in an area of geothermal wealth?  It makes more sense than leaving our children another toxic waste pile.

It seems we need a few attack dogs to keep radioactive waste out of our environment.  No one is talking about Geothermal energy which should be a major direction here in the Northwest.  It should be explored long before we decide to create 100,000 year toxic waste.

I am 62 years old.  When I was in grade school there were 2 billion people in the world.  Today we are fast approaching 10 billion.  This is log phase population growth.  Perhaps some infertility is nature's way of controlling an uncontrolled population growth.  We need to be limiting our population, perhaps even shrinking it if we expect the environment to continue to support us.  I have no children, but there are plenty of children in the world that need my care.  Perhaps that should be enough.
