Geothermal is much safer to develop than nuclear plants for all parts of the world. Nuclear is too risky to trust in the long run and disposal of wastes may lead to ground water contamination.

China and India are considering Geothermal development but only in a limiited way. Both of them should consider Geothermal as a long range replacement for coal thermal and nuclear.

Geothermal in the US is becoming of interest to large banks and investment firms that see its long range potential. It is safe and solid as an income producer and will not have to be concerned with any new "carbon" laws.
