The company strives to create enhanced value for stakeholders while addressing America’s domestic energy needs and promoting a clean environment.

Geothermal energy is energy recovered from the heat of the earth’s interior. Geothermal heat can appear in the form of volcanoes, hot springs and geysers. Classified as a renewable source of electricity, Geothermal energy is an established method of electrical power generation with 2,000 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity in the Western United States.

There are many benefits to utilizing geothermal energy. A geothermal power plant does not burn fuel; energy production is clean, and renewable. It is also a base load source; as a result, geothermal plants are designed to run

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwire – 10/22/09) – U.S. Geothermal Inc. (”U.S. Geothermal”) (TSX:GTH)(AMEX:HTM), a renewable energy company focused on the production and sale of electricity from geothermal energy, announced today that well NHS-5, the second full size production well at the Neal Hot Springs project located in eastern Oregon, was successfully completed on October 15.

NHS-5 encountered several lost circulation zones within the targeted horizon and intercepted a large aperture fracture at 2,796 feet resulting in a total loss of circulation. The well was completed to a depth of 2,896 feet. An initial 16 hour flow test completed using air lift produced fluid at a rate of 1,500 gallons per minute and resulted in a down hole flowing temperature of 286 degrees F (141 degrees C).

The reservoir-hosting fracture zone intersected in NHS-5 is 509 feet deeper in the geologic system than the large producing fracture intersected by NHS-1 which is

I was searching for more information on Ormat Technologies (a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ora"ORA/a), the geothermal stock I'm looking to buy, and came across this article from a href="http://www.greenchipstocks.com/articles/geothermal-energy-indonesia/401"Green Chip Stocks/a, via a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/mnGreenInvesting/idUS100063083920090514"Reuters/a. It talks about Indonesia, and their past reliance on oil (they are the only member of OPEC in Southeast Asia). But recently, they have been expanding their horizons and are moving into geothermal energy:br /br /blockquoteWith its population spread out over more than 17,000 islands, many Indonesians live in cities, yet some are in areas so remote that electricity access is almost zero.pIndonesia is also the only OPEC member in Southeast Asia, but in recent years it's actually become a net importer of oil. (Production is down from aging oil fields, consumption is up, and the government in Jakarta feels the fire of an energy crisis bubbling beneath the surface.)/ppBut trouble isn't the only thing simmering ...

BBy Porter Stansberry/BBRBR This past week, I encouraged my Put Strategy Report subscribers to establish a short position in solar stocks.BRBR Solar stocks are popular right now... so they have wildly inflated share prices. And I know the entire solar industry is a big con – it is impossible to efficiently use solar power and it always will be, thanks to the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Governments have tried to break the laws of physics because solar energy is popular, but all the subsidies in the world will never make solar energy viable as a reliable and efficient source of energy. That means solar stocks are ultimately doomed.BRBR Meanwhile, even in the short term, so much money has been spent building solar-panel manufacturing facilities that the price of solar panels is falling below their cost of production – which will mean a terrible year for the makers of solar panels, especially the largest ...

We had a chance to ask Randall Swisher, Executive Director of the American Wind Energy Association some questions about what he is seeing in wind energy trends and his overall outlook.nbsp;nbsp; Aspire: What surprised you about the renewable energy/clean tech markets in 2008? Were there any significant developments (political, technological, consumer-driven and/or industry-driven) that occurred which you werenrsquo;t anticipating?nbsp;nbsp; Swisher: Wind has been growing at such an explosive pace these last several years that I donrsquo;t think 2008rsquo;s record numbers are a big surprise, but they are notable.nbsp; This year, we expect about 7,500 megawatts of new wind capacity to be built in the U.S. which will make 2008 another year of 45% growth for the wind industry.nbsp;As this growth has occurred, wersquo;ve seen an increasing need to expand the supply chain for wind, including domestic manufacturing capacity.nbsp; This year, AWEA made a conscious effort to encourage new growth in this segment ...
