Sounds reasonable to me. While we are at it, turn the god forsaken Mojave Desert into a giant solar plant as well.

Correct shazam. The underlying problem is consumption. These new lcd tv's they are shoving down our throats use 80 to 240 watts per hour. That's like leaving your blow dryer on. Many issues need to be resolved here in regards to conservation.

If we where to make Yellowstone National Park, or at least the area around old faithful, into a massive geothermal plant,; is there enough energy there to supply America's domestic needs?

I think we should get started. I will meet everyone at 7:00 AM tomorrow, at the central gates. Please bring your own shovel and be prepared for a long hard day of work!
