GEOTHERMAL
lmportant quantities of power can be gene–
rated by tapping the massive build-ups of
superheated steam and water which lie
beneath the earth's surface. The Geysers,
a steam field in California, has an estimated
potential of 4,000 megawatts - enough to
satisfy peak electrical demand in a major
population center. The heat energy stored
beneath the surface of Californ ia's Imperial
Valley could equal from 27% to as much as
65% of the heating capacity of the entire
world 's oil reserves.

lnstead of essentially wasting the huge
amounts of disposable material generated
daily by communities around the world, why
not put much of that waste material to profit–
able use by burning it off and producing
useful amounts of heat in the process?
lnstead of incinerating wastes purely to get
rid of them, the idea would be to incinerate
otherwise useless materials and supply
quantities ·of heat energy for useful pur–
poses in so doing.
