Ms, Chase,

As is typical of most journalists writing about geothermal energy, your article follows the disappointing tactic of regurgitating the industry's myths and press clippings. If you want to distinguish yourself and earn a Pulitzer, dig into why this industry has effectively failed to grow for 25 years and why the flurry of Obama bucks is just a researcher's full employment act. The industry's hogs are lining up at the grant trough to try things that have no hope of commercial reality. Even the DOE tried to distance itself from the MIT study on EGS when it first came out, but that bit of reality has never been unearthed by journalists. Again, distinguish yourself and find out what is really behind this great American research swindle.
