We are covering an event tomorrow at Clarke University

Which we wanted to share some background with you.  Geothermal is one technology we do not understand well, and we've not covered the subject in a show.  We'll file a report from the conference and then hope to bring in expert guests from the meeting on future radio shows.

If you are an expert or have had some experience, good or bad with geothermal, please contact us.
