what is new about Puna's geothermal?

[JohnDW]

Yea, I've been hearing the off-the grid, energy revolution spiel for about forty years now and some day, no doubt, it will become a working Tesla reality. As for me, if I could afford it, the solar/wind turbine; what have you, would do fine. Why? Because I personally am very frugal with my energy consumption. But, then again, I'm among the minority. Most people in this state use several times the energy that my wife and I do. You can go around preaching to them til you're blue in the face and guess what, it won't do no good bro. So, what to do? Scold them? Shame them? Punish them? Enlighten them? The problem with that is, it just makes "them" resent "you". Who are you to tell them how to live anyway? They can easily turn it around and point out your flaws, and their are many, by the way. So, fact is, most people simply don't want to live the "alternative life-style" and for better or worse, that's their decision to make. Isn't it better to make some modest adjustments that over time will lead people to make more responsible decisions on how they choose to lead their lives rather than more of this divisive blather and repulsive sanctimony?
