The geothermal power plants at Southern California’s Salton Sea don’t just produce electricity, they also trigger thousands of temblors not far from one of the West Coast’s most dangerous earthquake faults, a new study says.

Russell Roberts‘s insight:

Unintended consequences of geothermal power plants.  Nothing is risk-free these days. This report should help anti-geothermal advocates get better oversight and management of existing geothermal facilities. Aloha, Russ.
