BP to resume Gulf drillling - there is always a better choice.

YEP - How soon we forget... drill baby drill, forget the consequences. HTML clipboardHTML clipboardhttp://www.daviddarling.info/images/flash_steam_power_plant.jpg
Imagine instead of subsidizing and wasting trillions drilling and looking for finite resources to power our daily activities if the same funding was shifted to drill geothermal wells that never run dry to power electric light transit, daily commuters and a third of our nations power?

Too obvious? Well, imagine now that after 5 years the investment starts paying you back.
When you invest in finite or bio resources, they are GONE and need to be constantly replenished or replaced at a greater cost each time.

However, when you invest geothermal it is a upfront cost then payback,
payback... payback.

Are we not listening?
40 years of options... this isn't new math. 
It is a choice.
And a bad one at that.
