Geothermal Energy: Tapping the Energy in the Earth's Core

Key facts: - Geothermal energy comes from the heat in the Earth's core. This heat creates underground reservoirs of steam and hot water, which can be tapped to generate electricity or to heat and cool buildings directly. - Geothermal energy is the third largest source of renewable energy, behind hydropower and biomass. In 2003, it accounted for 7 percent of US electricity generated from renewable sources. - The United States is the world's largest producer of geothermal energy. About 2,800 megawatts (MW) of geothermal electrical capacity is connected to the electrical grid in the United States; 8,000 MW of geothermal electrical capacity is installed worldwide. - The US Geological Survey (USGS) has identified approximately 22,000 MW of geothermal resources sufficient for electrical power generation in the United States. In addition, low-temperature resources sufficient for direct-use and heat pumps are available across the country. - The largest geothermal development in the world is at The Geysers in California. This plant, in operation since 1960, has a capacity of over 850 MW and satisfies nearly 70 percent of the average electrical demand for the Californian North Coast region. - Electricity from The Geysers sells for $0.03 to$0.035 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), while electricity from newer geothermal plants costs between $0.05 and$0.08 per kWh. New geothermal power plants are now eligible for a Production Tax Credit for power produced in the first 5 years of operation

Welcome of the Chair of the Italian National Committee. IFLA Congress comes back to Italy for the fourth time: 1929, 1951, 1964, and now 2009. In June 1929, in the Marciana Library (Venice), Mr. Isak Collijn announced the name of the Library Federation, and the Italian librarian Vincenzo Fago read the Statute, dated "Florence, June 25, 1929": 1) The name of this organization shall be the International Federation of Library Associations. 2) The object of the Federation shall be to promote international library cooperation. One year after, in 1930, the Italian Library Association (AIB) was founded
