Geothermal solution - part 3

.....As of 1999 8,217 megawatts of electricity were being produced from some 250 geothermal power plants running day and night in 22 countries around the world. These plants provide reliable base-load power for well over 60 million people, mostly in developing countries.  
 
---------------------------- 
As you can see, there are clean alternatives to Coal and Nuclear energy. 
There is a way forward for humanity, without returning to the dark ages. 
 
The Howard Government's solution to clean energy supplies is no solution at all. The Rudd Labor Government's solution is not much better. 
Where do these parties stand on Geothermal energy supplies for base-load and industrial purposes? 
It is time that our elected representatives started listening to their people, told the truth and got on with the job of supplying us with what we need.  
 
What frustrates me the most is that solutions for clean viable energy supplies are available. The building of a clean, sustainable economy is possible. Big industry can continue and budgets can remain “in surplus”. No household would ever be left “in the dark”. If only the right people controlled our taxes.  
 
I have been writing my fingers to the bone for a couple of years now, but it appears they are too heavily invested in business as usual.  
 
Australians, please think very carefully and use your precious vote wisely.
