Projects like the Newberry EGS Demonstration are essential to creating a greener, more independent energy future in the U.S. That future will require an increase in the innovative technologies being developed domestically, as well as an increase in the number of skilled professionals who make such technology their prime focus.

This month, the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association (CanGEA) released the results of a nation-wide study of Canada’s geothermal resources. The data show a huge potential for geothermal development, which could help make cleaner, domestic power more affordable and more accessible across North America.

Given the alarming nuclear emergency that unfolded in Japan earlier this year, nations the world over have been reassessing their energy plans. The question is no longer "Is nuclear energy safe?" (the answer to that question was never a resounding "yes") but rather "Is nuclear energy worth the risks?"

It's no coincidence that most steam-turbine electricity generating plants are built close to, if not on, a river or lake? These plants require so much water that water availability is one of the top criteria when selecting a location for a new plant and an ongoing environmental concern.

It's funny how some people advocate for more renewable energy sources…as long as they end up in someone else's backyard. The primary reason for this attitude is that renewable energy sources such as wind and solar-thermal (those acres of mirrors with a giant tower in the center) have what is termed high "visual impact." Large-scale projects using these technologies decidedly alter the landscape, or at least one's view of it.

AltaRock Energy's Newberry EGS Demonstration presents several opportunities in America's energy infrastructure. Most prominent is that of clean, domestic, renewable energy: something that the U.S. does not have nearly enough of, while the pressures to wean from foreign fossil fuels are higher than ever.

The work underway at AltaRock's Newberry EGS Demonstration could be considered the development stage for technology with potential national application. However, some people claim that national application of clean energy is not feasible because, supposedly, such technology is not economically viable.
