Given the huge amount of problems the people in the world face with natural disasters occuring, with the high cost to living from fuel prices, and that affecting rebuilding efforts; we need to focus politically and socially on how to avert disasters and to sustain reliable affordable energy.
The cost is so high to rebuild, and then to think it could happen all over again, is quite disturbing. Unless we figure out how to avert those calamities.
 
Scientists have accused our recent storms such as Katrina as a result of our inept action solving the energy fuel crisis. People say we have a food crisis in the world, but that is not true, because it is really the fuel energy crisis that creates this.
 
Do you know that by developing more Geothermal Plants we can solve our energy problems and avert natural disasters to include earthquakes? How to do it? What are we up against? First lets look at Geothermal.

The above link is very interesting on Geothermal. It talks of dry steam use. One of the most important aspects to Geothermal use is how it is used. Myself I do not like dry steam because of the silica problem gumming up the pipes as the steam comes through.
 
The answer is sending closed loop copper pipes that are fed water from the ground level. The water decends and heats up and returns the other side as steam. Think of the letter U;
water goes in the left side at the top of the U and circulates out as steam on the right side of the U. The trick is being able to make the drilling hole large enough to send a U pipe down to assure the recirculation effort.
 
This method I describe prevents silica buildup. If pipes buildup mineral deposits, it is easy to demineralize by mixing water with vinegar, to dissolve the material, in a high pressure flushing periodically.
 
The issue with Geothermal is to not make a radical change to the inner core temperature, or lose gases from inside the earth. Of course some is beneficial in my opinion to avert and diminish earthquake activity. Earthquakes happen because of pressure built-up inside the earth from the heat inside that eventually shifts the earth rock plates underground. If some of that pressure is controlled released no earthquakes occur.
 
Essentially throughout the world there are massive earthquakes that occur, and thousands are killed. We just experienced one here in Sichuan China yesterday with a report of  over 12,000 people killed. There are not enough Geothermal Energy sites produced to help control pressure releases to avert the earthquakes. I have been here in China 7 years, and we are working to develop a Community Project to begin building Geothermal Energy Plants in Sichuan, to ward off future earthquakes and to provide China with clean unlimited electrical power.
 
With any luck and determination I can get help from World Challenge 2008 to obtain  money to help support this Project for the People of China.

I look forward to more responsible people to come forward and help us with our efforts. 
 
China Geothermal Energy Earthquake Deterrent Project  is the name of the Company. Research data I have been looking at says one needs only drill down about 3 miles give or take a 1/2 to reach the hot zone. In Australia they have taken on the cause and are building one in Adelaine. Some problems in Australia is the drilling rod snapped and is lodged in the well and subsequently holding things up.

Really if we are going to consider doing Geothermal I prefer not asking the Government or anyone for money to do it. I am no beggar, and no sweet talking; changes their attitudes, so as far as I'm concerned bums are always bums, forget them....who cares what they think, or negative views they take, because if they are not positive about doing something that provides unlimited energy, without wasting energy, they might as well join their race car buddies who get their thrills wasting good fuel to watch a bunch of speed freak race cars speed around the track simply to say hey that bozo is a winner! big deal! and who cares who is the faster car!

Learning more about drill bits and hard metals to penetrate rocks is more of my idea to entertainment, and thinking of ways to do drill blasting, by using explosives or vibration to crack rocks first to make it easier on drill penetration. Perhaps even using heat in the hole then send down real cold water to crack rock would be an interesting try. I think drills can be operated independently instead of having an entire shaft rotating at 3 miles in length to do the drilling. A drill should just spin at its tip with the shaft remaining stationary, and I also think they can be powered by electricity than combustion motors. There are many ways to do things that would bring the cost down considerably for doing Geothermal Development.
 
The idea is to use Geothermal Energy to not only produce electricity but to also control earthquake activity. In the above site you will notice that India is not even mentioned or on the list of countries using Geothermal Power. Its a pity, and I hope also hope to help people in doing this for India too. Another interesting website I like that talks about Geothermal Development is here:

In the USA most of the Geothermal plants are located in the West, but still they do not have enough Geothermal Power plants built outwest, because they still experience earthquake activity.
 
They simply are unaware of Geothermal Energy Plants being used to halt earthquake activity. And if they are aware they coverup their inaction in supporting Geothermal Development. Politicians who support nuclear energy, oil burning and coal mining companies use their lies to promote... Earthquakes would destroy Geothermal Plants rendering them useless and dangerous to operate....But this is furtherest from the truth.
 
Geothermal is essential to protect massive land areas where people live in preventing and having their homes destroyed by earthquakes. This is why I think Geothermal energy is the energy of our future, as long as we understand how much pressure to release each year to avert earthquakes, and not over-release to diminish inner core temperatures for heat production for electrical generation.
 
Australia is now getting on board to Geothermal Building and it is good news for them. They can then have power to run desalinsation plants for fresh water production into man made reservoirs.
 
Remember the food crisis? I thought of another way to create fresh water, and that is digging a canal or pipeline from the ocean to inland to an open space area that has large ponds. Essentially the ponds will have salt water in them. Over the ponds we construct plastic domes so the temperature rises to evaporate the water. The water collects on the domes and runs down to collection channels into fresh water basins. This is called Solar Desalinisation Ponds for Fresh Water.
 
Essentially the areas would be produce production areas of food, and the real possibility of raising salt water fish in the ponds. This plan would produce fresh water without using energy resources except the natural sun. Think of the desert regions in the world that are close to the Ocean. In Arizonia and New Mexico in the USA they could develop Salt Water Ponds for Fresh water production.
 
Given the idea for a sustainable future, a county/ country that supported Solar Desalinisation Ponds, and Geothermal Energy used to make electricity and control earthquake activity would be a step in doing something for mankind that is long-term and beneficial to stable life for humanity.
 
Can we as a people reach these goals? That is the question at the moment!
