Massive Hot Water for Geothermal Power in Long Valley Caldera

https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/fs20183009
The volcanic processes that have shaped the Long Valley Caldera in eastern California have also created an abundant supply of natural hot water. This natural resource provides benefits to many users, including power generation at the Casa Diablo Geothermal Plant, warm water for a state fish hatchery, and beautiful scenic areas such as Hot Creek gorge for visitors. However, some features can be dangerous because of sudden and unpredictable changes in the location and flow rate of boiling water. The U.S. Geological Survey monitors several aspects of the hydrothermal system in the Long Valley Caldera including temperature, flow rate, and water chemistry.

China: First Hot Dry Rock Well Reaches 4,387 Meters and 185℃

According to the China’s long-term plan, geothermal energy will take up to 3% of while energy consumption by the year 2030, i.e., geothermal energy will be equivalent to 180 million tons of standard coal or 140 billion cubic meters of natural gas. The development of HDR will substantially optimize the energy consumption matrix of China, assure supply security of energy, reduce carbon emission, improve eco-system and eventually achieve green growth.

Munich utility contracts additional drilling work for ambitious geothermal heating project

http://www.thinkgeoenergy.com/munich-utility-contracts-additional-drilling-work-for-ambitious-geothermal-heating-project/

The drilling of now six geothermal wells to be undertaken by project partner Daldrup & Söhne are part of SWM’s ambitious plan to make Munich Germany’s first major city to generate 100 percent of its district heating from renewable energies by 2040. The biggest portion of that heating is to be generated by hot thermal water. Munich is located on top on top of vast supplies of this environmentally friendly energy source, which is contained in easily permeable layers of limestone that are part of the geological layers underneath the city.

Some of Apple's renewable energy projects include the solar panels on the roof of Apple Park, its newest campus, 485 megawatts of wind and solar projects across China, solar facilities in Reno, Nevada and Maiden, North Carolina, more than 300 rooftop solar systems in Japan, and an 800-rooftop renewable energy system in Singapore.

Trudeau Stuck Deep in Tar Sands

Michell Anderson's story of Trudeau's smoke and mirrors campaign involving pipelines that reduce carbon, I think he actually said that!
So far, Canada’s record of implementing effective climate policy is a shambles. Federal Environment Commissioner Julie Gelfand and auditors general of nine provinces just co-authored a study showing how every single plan has failed to meet carbon reduction targets. The Rio commitment in 1992 and Kyoto in 2005 have both come and gone. The federal government no longer speaks of Canada’s 2020 emission target made in Copenhagen that we will overshoot by some 20 percent.

Mercedes Producing Hydrogen Vehicles

Hydrogen Fuel News Story
Mercedes-Benz is making progress with its new GLC F-Cell vehicle. The new hydrogen-powered SUV has been under development for some time, with Mercedes-Benz beginning commercial production on the new vehicle in late 2017. Mercedes-Benz believes that its new fuel cell vehicles will be significantly more advanced than those being offered by competitors. This is because the automaker’s vehicles will be powered by advanced fuel cell technology, which is the result of extensive research and development efforts.
