Geothermal - Health Assessments & Studies

[ironyak]

You want me to demonstrate Harry Kim's expertise regarding geothermal energy production and from that you can decide whether or not to believe what he says about anything geothermal (including history, legislation, technology, emergency response, etc)?

He was a manager and politician so why believe him right? (ad hominem - poisoning the well)

Interesting dilemma here: To judge any evidence you'd have to be knowledgeable about geothermal energy production, otherwise how could tell if it demonstrated expertise or not? But if you are knowledgeable, then why do you need me to demonstrate anything at all, you should already know.

So either:
1) Apply your knowledge of geothermal energy production to the dozens of hours of Harry Kim speaking about geothermal
OR
2) Get knowledgeable about geothermal energy production and goto 1)

And while all this has nothing to do with the discussion of Geothermal Health Studies, it would be interesting to hear whatever conclusions you come to regarding Harry Kim's authority on geothermal, so we can judge the merits of making an Appeal to Authority.
