gypsy - It seems like geothermal has paid off the right people.

I don't believe that you "get it". Geothermal hasn't paid off anyone. Anyone who has HELCO are the ones paying for those royalty funds! How do you think geothermal gets the money in the first place They simply sell the product to HELCO, who sells it to the customers of HELCO. Period. HELCO's money is YOUR money, too.
The more you want geothermal to fund various relocation, health studies, pay more in taxes, etc, the more you will pay for electricity!
