Also on Wednesday 19th, but on the far side of the world, US President George Bush
signed the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.
The Act included the
"Advanced Geothermal Energy Research and Development Act of 2007”, which
authorizes a total of US$95 million annually and directs the Department of Energy to
undertake a broad and aggressive research program to promote geothermal energy,
especially engineered geothermal systems. The DoE has already indicated a desire to
cooperate with Australia, so this is likely to have flow-on implications for the Australian
industry.
