On the island of Hawaii, (Big) there is one geothermal generating plant. They are a small operation, unable to expand nor drill more wells due to the fact that the original peoples of Hawaii feel that that is drilling into sacred ground. There is enough political pressure to prevent any expansion, so the operators of this company have a really difficult time turning a proffit. At least that Island, and probably Maui also could provide 100 per cent of the electrical power requirement for each by using the available heat provided by volcanic activity. But, instead we import fossil fuels to burn and pollute the atmosphere. Somebody give me a bullet to bite on...
