RE: Geothermal Power for Restarting the Escalante Generating Station?
Dear Editor,
Could the closed Escalante Generating station be converted to geothermal energy? Numerous developments support thoroughly exploring this question. The top one is increased demand for electricity to power large computer data centers.
Geothermal heat can be extracted from deep inside the earth, then used to produce steam to spin turbines to generate electricity. It’s as simple as that! It’s renewable, relatively inexpensive, and readily available in New Mexico. The technology is already developed and deployed elsewhere. Importantly, political forces are aligned at both the state and national levels to support such an initiative.
I toured the plant a few years ago. It appeared to be in good condition and well maintained; i.e. capable of providing additional years of service. Our local and state elected officials should conduct a feasibility study to determine if geothermal heat could put the Escalante power plant into service.
It could provide significant economic benefits to Grants and Cibola County. If you agree, please let our officials know.

The Facts Speak for Themselves
Dear Editor,
How many more times do we have to put up with people trying to harm this president after what just happened this weekend? Many news media people like the View said they would not go to the White House Press Dinner. Trump never went to one because of the constant hate speech coming from news media like the View but decided he would go anyway to give some of them a chance to roast or make fun of him.
The building was packed with 2,600 guests, some according to some reports seated right up against walls many from news outlets that have bad mouthed Trump and his administration. The press uses the 1st amendment freedom of speech when it suits them and never covers the good things Trump does.
Left wing judges have been trying to stop the new ball room being built by Trump and others at their own expense at the White House which would have been safer for these types of events.
Democrats are still holding up funding for DHS which the Secret Service are a part of. They want to defund ICE who are removing illegal immigrants from the country so they can enlarge health programs, increase taxes, make people more dependent on the government, and enlarge their voting base to stay in power.
The facts speak for themselves if you do not vote them out and put more Republicans in the midterm elections nothing will change it will only get worse.
