It seems that I am drawn to volcanic regions. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Kenya where they were just starting to use geothermal energy for electrical generation. When I taught in Costa Rica, we saw Arenal Volcano erupt. I heard that only 1 in 10,000 people see a volcano erupt. In Iceland, almost all the water heating, home heating, and electricity production is through geothermal energy. It made it a very clean place to spend five months.
