I wonder if the the folks who gave money to this project lived at the base of a dormant volcano surrounded by earthquake faults they would allow such a thing? Oh wait – they do – does anyone really think the faults in Northern California are not connected to faults elsewhere – the answer is no one knows for sure what will happen – or when it might happen – no one. As the folks at AltaRock sit in their comfortable conference room discussing how to save our planet with “clean” energy translation: how to hang onto the mountain of VC and taxpayer money they got – we sit in our homes wondering when the quakes will start. Be honest – no matter what research reports are produced about the “safety” of such projects – no one really knows for sure. So be honest about the risk you are putting those who live in the area and who knows how many more in.
