Abstract
Renewable natural energy sources are available almost everywhere, of which Geothermal Energy is the most uniformly available both daily and over time. But in use it is not as portable as are the many energy sources containing refusables, often wrongly identified as waste, or scoria, or trash. The purpose of this presentation is to make clear that energy resources are widely and all but universally available, and that the harnessing of these resources depends only on (1) the application of man's established technical skills and demonstrated unbridled imagination, and on (2) man's willingness to subordinate his ravenous and predatory instincts and tendencies to cooperative endeavor.
