Geothermal energy -- business challenge and technology response

I am going to talk about the things we need to do to be successful and competitive in the new environment. I will be talking about the technological side of geothermal power. This is a subject of great importance to many of you who have invested much of your career in the science and technology that makes this industry work. We could talk about the philosophical side of technology and discuss the merit of basic versus applied research, or the differences between a mature technology and those low in the S-curve of learning. We could get into many philosophical discussions about research. I will leave these topics to those who are more qualified to address them than myself.
