Experts agree on a few things about geothermal energy.

Pros:

1. Geothermal is a very clean energy, with zero emissions and zero waste.

2. Because it is from the earth’s own energy, the resource is stable, indefinite and regenerating.

3. Resources can produce abundantly amounts of energy

Cons:

1. Geothermal is expensive. Both locating viable resources and building geothermal plants is incredibly front heavy – capital-wise.

2. Because the temperature of a geothermal resource must be very high, it could be considered a limited resource.

The next time you are at Disneyland, you can share a little morsel of I’m-so-smart information. 

As of the end of February, Disneyland, along with much of Anaheim will be powered by geothermal energy supplied by Raser Technologies, Inc., (NYSE: RZ) via their newly constructed plant in Utah.

We have followed this company for weeks for a couple of reasons.  Firstly, the Raser’s technology allows geothermal energy to be generated from cooler (by cooler I mean 165* degrees compared to the industry standard 212*+ degrees) waters and therefore more accessible and plentiful supply.  Secondly, Raser Technologies is leading its industry in plant development due to their ability to put plants into use more quickly and more cost effectively than their competition. Plant production is one of the largest challenges in bringing geothermal energy mainstream.  Just a note…  while we have been following RZ, they have stepped up an exchange from NYSEArca to the New York Stock Exchange. (Their symbol, RZ, has remained unchanged) (more…)
