Electric Vehicles In An Electric-Centric World- Part 11- Final Thoughts

The internal heat from earth's core is not going away anytime soon. Properly managed, geothermal reservoirs can reheat water on a continuous basis in perpetuity........<---Click to Read Full Article

Electric Vehicles In An Electric-Centric World- Part 10- Wasting Time

The main ingredient in securing an electric-centric transportation future is the means and methods required to increase the capacity of sustainable ["green"] "base-load" power........<---Click to Read Full Article

Electric Vehicles In An Electric-Centric World- Part 9- Economics & Risk

The real risk in this scenario is macro-economic: the energy markets and our economy convulse in epileptic spasms each time a sheik complains of chest pains or several sheiks start a family feud........<---Click to Read Full Article

Electric Vehicles In An Electric-Centric World- Part 8- National Security

One huge advantage of employing a binary geothermal power system over a direct water-vapor system [dry steam or flash steam system] is that a binary system is not limited to near-surface thermal zones where the reservoir water is extremely hot, such as those zones that are found in the western United States .......<---Click to Read Full Article

Electric Vehicles In An Electric-Centric World- Part 7- Geothermal

Geothermal [in Greek: "geo" = earth/"therme" = heat] energy is the most logical choice for establishing "green" "base-load" power.......<---Click to Read Full Article
