One of 5 or 6 geothermal plants near Salton Sea. Water comes out of 6000 ft. wells at about 500 degress. Water returned back to the aquifer at about 200 degress. Plants produce 50MW each. In addition to the plants there are distribution pipes running across and along numerous road and fields as well as nemerous power lines and substations. Plants were producing 24/7 while we were in the area. Appears to be a reliable source of renewable energy, however I still would not want these large industrial complexes in the town of Cape Vincent or along the Thousand Islands or Golden Crescent.
