TRW study urges 2 phase geothermal project proposal
TRW Systems Group scientists urge a two phase East Mesa geothermal plan to deliver 10 megawatts within three years. Phase 1 would cost 4.1 million over 18 months, Phase 2 about 17 million over 24 months to build the plant. The 15 acre facility would use deep wells to extract superheated water from a reservoir 4200 to 6200 feet deep and recycle it for more than a century with minimal environmental impact.

Solar energy closer than ever to replace home furnaces
Dr. Paul Rappaport outlined a solar heating concept using two black glass sheets and stone-filled cylinders to store heat for days, predicting homes could rely on solar heat within five years. He noted high installation costs and limited federal funding hinder progress, but argued solar could meet 25 to 75 percent of home heating needs and generate electricity with silicon cells already achieving over 20 percent efficiency.
