DOE Awards $20M to Boost Development of Innovative Geothermal Technologies

Green Car Congress

However, most low temperature geothermal resources are not hot enough to be harnessed through traditional geothermal processes, including dry steam or flash steam power plants, which typically use water at temperatures greater than 360 °F (182 °C). Historically, this coproduced hot water has been treated as a waste product.

Perspective: Regional Greenhouse Gas Cap-and-Trade Programs May be the Solution

Green Car Congress

The opportunities for private-parties to buy and sell emissions allowances, and to purchase any allowances auctioned by the state, lie behind cap and trade’s potential to achieve emissions reductions at low cost to the overall economy. Mr. Donovan, a member of The Florida Bar, The U.S.
