	Geothermal areas in Long Valley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Long Valley Caldera, in California, hosts an active hydrothermal system that includes hot springs, fumaroles (steam vents), and mineral deposits.
		Mineral deposits from thermal activity are found on the an uplifted aread called the resurgent dome, at Little Hot Creek springs, Hot Creek Gorge, and other locations in the south and east moats of the caldera.
		In Long Valley Caldera, the system is recharged primarily from snow-melt in the highlands around the western and southern rims of the caldera.

	Overview of Geothermal Energy in California (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Geothermal energy is produced by the heat of the earth and is often associated with volcanic and seismically active regions.
		Other major geothermal locations in the state include the Imperial Valley area east of San Diego and the Coso Hot Springs area near Bakersfield.
		Investigations in Hot Dry Rock were focussed in the Clear Lake area of Lake County; Magma research occurred in the Long Valley Caldera of Mono County.

		Currently, only five new geothermal electric power plants with 105 megawatts total generating capacity are planned for operation by 1999(13)--down from 517 megawatts being planned in 1994 for the same time period.
		Since many geothermal resources are located in arid regions where water is a scarce and regulated commodity, long-term access to water could be an important constraint on their development.
		Geothermal resource development in Hawaii, although technologically promising, has been intensely opposed by some environmental and public interest groups, claiming that such development would do irreparable damage to the tropical rain forest while violating local religious beliefs and cultural mores.

		When long wall mining is carried out underneath rivers and creeks, the subsidence causes large cracks in the riverbed.
		Warm geothermal air escapes through these cracks and heats up the waterways, killing all living things that are sensitive to changes in the water temperature, or stopping them from breeding successfully.
		Lee has also made several visits to a group of residents in Mandalong Valley, in Lake Macquarie, who are concerned about potential flooding in the Mandalong Valley from the long wall mining being proposed by Centennial Coal.

	CVO Menu - America's Volcanic Past - Long Valley Vicinity, California
		Fallout from the Long Valley eruption blanketed most of the western states with ash as far east as Nebraska, and covered the Mono Basin, Owens Valley, and parts of the Sierras in 600-3,000 feet of 1300 degrees F. burning ash.
		Long Valley, from the headwaters of Owens River to Lake Crowley, is a giant 10-mile-wide, 20-mile-long volcanic caldera.
		The resurgent dome is a broad area of the central caldera floor that was pushed upward within 100,000 years or less of the caldera-forming eruption 730,000 years ago.

	Petroleum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Petroleum is found in porous rock formations in the upper strata of some areas of the Earth's crust.
		In this type of cogeneration plant, a gas turbine is used to generate electricity and the waste heat is used to produce steam, which is then injected into the reservoir.
		Sun, wind, geothermal, and other renewable electricity sources cannot directly replace high energy density liquid petroleum for transportation use; instead automobiles and other equipment must be altered to allow using electricity (in batteries) or hydrogen (via fuel cells or internal combustion) which can be produced from renewable sources.

	Geothermal
		As with oil, geothermal energy can be converted by complex technoecosystems into many portable forms of fuel, electricity, chemicals, and fresh water to feed into the global technoecosystem.
		This is a detailed case study of exploitation activities and plans for one area of natural geothermal heat concentration, the Imperial Valley-Mexicali region of southern California and northern Mexico.
		The trouble again is that geothermal resources in these areas, as everywhere, are highly localized, rare, and limited, costly to exploit, and damaging to the environment.

		LLNL is developing methods to measure the fracture or crack density within a geothermal field, and the direction to fractures several meters from a borehole.
		This data will be used in: a) determining the candidate compounds' utility as a geothermal tracer and b) measuring properties necessary for predicting their transport properties.
		This research is undertaken to develop a greater understanding of the subsurface geometry of faulting in the region surrounding the geothermal reservoir at Dixie Valley, NV by merging the field observations with available geophysical data and borehole information.

		The Dixie Valley geothermal field is unique but then every geothermal field has some unique combination of the many geological and hydrological characteristics that define a geothermal field, especially if its evolution over time is considered.
		It is clearly a relatively old or long lived combination of systems that has had time to leave abundant clues on the surface as to its presence in the form of hydrothermal alteration, siliceous sinter deposits, and active (even if very weak) fumaroles.
		DISCUSSION Dixie Valley has received the lion’s share of the research dollars and associated publicity of the Basin and Range projects in the past decade for a variety of reasons.

		The Geothermal Program Office (GPO) of the US Navy, has identified more than 25 locations on military controlled lands that are prospective for geothermal development in the continental US A thorough assessment of the full potential of those sites has recently begun, and is expected to be completed by the summer of 2003.
		The GPO oversees the exploration for and development of geothermal resources on lands which are under the control of any of the nation's military services.
		They are to advance the understanding of the two states' geothermal energy resource, their benefits and cost effective applications; to support the development of a market for geothermal power in the two states; and to support the establishment of policies that promote the development of geothermal energy.

	Renewable Energy Annual 1996
		The basics of geothermal energy resources, electricity generation technology, and the state of the geothermal industry were reported by the Energy Information Administration in 1991 [58].
		With the construction of new geothermal power facilities stalled, the most significant event in 1996 for the U.S. geothermal industry was the startup of a new 40-megawatt power plant in the Salton Sea known geothermal resource area (KGRA).
		The area in the United States where a new geothermal power plant has the highest likelihood of being built (by the Calpine Corporation and Trans-Pacific Geothermal Corporation) in the next few years is in the Glass Mountain KGRA in northern California, located about 50 miles south of Klamath Falls, Oregon [63].

		Despite their low levelized costs, however, Gruenspecht said that more geothermal plants are not built because there are only a few sites with costs as attractive as those cited, and they tend to be located in remote areas in the far western region of the country.
		Abstracts are sought for a geothermal session at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting scheduled for 5-9 December 2005 in San Francisco, California.

		Within Elko County, there are several established geothermal sources and many additional resources with high potential for development, according to the Geothermal Resource Assessment conducted by Converse Consultants of Elko.
		The Elko area has a long history of geothermal water use and development, beginning with Native American and emigrant travelers’ use of water at the “Hot Hole” in southwestern Elko.
		The Elko Heat Company well reports a flow of 700 gallons per minute with a temperature of 175º F. Geothermal waters in the Wells area are reported at 200 to 230º F. The Carlin area reports a reservoir size of 0.79 cubic miles, with hot spring temperatures near boiling (212° F).

		Known geothermal resources in north-central Nevada are closely associated with thin crust and an uplifted Moho (Savage and Sheehan, 2000; Ozalaybey et al., 1997; Fliedner et al., 1996; Humphreys and Dueker, 1994).
		Available details from geothermal fields and basins are embedded in a 3-d crust over a variable-depth Moho, as developed by SCEC for southern California.
		The profile we obtained is three times as long as Harder and Keller's (2000), but the Barrick Goldstrike and Florida Canyon mine blasts we recorded from the east end of our profile are much larger at 20,000 to 40,000 kg of explosive charge.
