Basic Energy Corp will start drilling in Calumpan peninsula (aka Anilao and Mabini) with plans to build a 20MW geothermal power plant

I don't know Karl but is that "cleaner" than a coal fired power plant?

 

[jigo]

geothermal uses heat from vents of nearby volcanoes to boil water into steam. its among the cleanest there is. my concern would by how responsible the construction would be so that there will be no run-off of waste or any impact on the waters off anilao. my guess is this will be near mainit/secret bay where the volcano is?

yes i agree its proabably cleaner than coal. my concern is what will happen to Anilao when they construct a 20MW power plant there? for sure the infrastructure of Anilao will be impacted as well as the water discharge raising the temp of the water
