Please fund an "Apollo Style" program of replacing nuclear and coal power with geothermal power plants.

Created by D.M. on March 12, 2012

Start an "Apollo style program" to upgrade the energy grid and build safe emission free, non nuclear, electrical generators. Geothermal energy acts as a price stabilizer that offsets U.S. dependence upon highly volatile fossil fuel power markets. Depths you would have to drill vary though, for instance, in Yellowstone scientists estimate that the molten rock and lava is between 5,000 to 20,000 feet underground. By drilling to a depth of three hundred feet, the temperature has been confirmed to be 400 Fahrenheit.
Let’s use fossil fuels as portable energy, go ahead and drive that Hummer guilt free, and leave electrical generation and home heating to an emission free source of energy that will be around as long as the earth continues to spin on its axis.
