Summary
[edit]DescriptionBrady's Hot Springs Power Plant (Brady's Hot Springs, Nevada, USA).jpg |
English: This is a geothermal power plant in northwestern Nevada. Geothermal power plants make electricity using pressurized steam from wells drilled into natural hydrothermal areas.
This example is at Brady's Hot Springs, a hydrothermal area along the Brady Fault. Geothermal exploitation in the area has occurred for decades and the surface hot springs have long been wrecked. Steam plumes ("fumaroles") can be seen from the nearby highway - they are not natural. The original hot springs had flowing hot water at the surface, with active siliceous sinter deposition. The current water table is well below the surface. People need to understand that geothermal power is NOT GREEN. Brady's Hot Springs have been ruined forever - might as well continue making electricity there. Untapped "hydrothermal resources" should be left as is. Such environments are among the rarest and most beautiful on Earth (for example, Yellowstone), and they host rare and sometimes unique extremophile communities. Geothermal drilling destroys the environment. If there are no surface springs, features, or extremophiles, then fine. Otherwise, please leave them alone. |
