(S/NF/SK) MISSION: Stage 2 training. Site was a steam plant (geothermal power conversion). The monitor’s primary intent was for the viewer to experience the Stage 2s associated with steam clouds; to incorporate into vocabulary percepts/words such as "vaporous”. 2. (S/NF/SK) VIEWER TASKING: Coordinates 3848/1224. 3. (S/NF/SK) COMMENTS: 025 did a fine job perceiving and decoding the primary gestalt (steam) and listing appropriate associated Stage 2s. Additionally, the monitor was quite surprised to see the viewer pick up on the gestalt of energetics, i.e., power lines ("along, hard") and transmission of electricity ("motion, buzzing”) which is, of course, the plant’s purpose. 025 worked harder on this site than on any previous target. The monitor is quite please\with the degree of effort demonstrated during the session. A post-session discussion/review focused on the differences hetween the ideas “airy” and “vaporous”, and the various manifestations of the gestalt “energetics”. 4.

Ap CPYRGHT GEOTHERMAL ENERGY By KENNETH F. WEAVER ASSISTANT EDITOR HE SMELL OF BRIMSTONE hung on the air. Steam vents hissed at me like snakes. Craters of boiling mud seethed and burped; black bubbles formed, swelled, and collapsed with rude plops. Heat had created a scabrous landscape al- most devoid of vegetation and stained with yellow streaks of sulfur and the white crusts of mineral] salts. It suggested an outpost of Dante’s Inferno—although it bore the more earthly name Laguna Volcano. Only a short distance away, towering plumes of steam sent a muffled roar to my ears. These plumes marked the location of the new Cerro Prieto power plant in northern Mexica. The heat that drove the electric gen- erators of Cerro Prieto was ithe same heat that had created the wasteland at my feet. It was the terrible heat from inside the earth. The cold, hard crust of our planet gives Plumes of hope in the search for energy, steam tapped from underground reservoirs roars through pressure-release vents at The Geysers steam field, where the Pacific Gas and Electric Company operates a generat- ing plant. Steam-driven turbines produce enough power for a city of half a million. The California facility is the only one in the U.S. now turning earth heat into electricity. rovecFor Release 2000/68/08 : C A-RDP96-00789R001500600001-9 ' weep, CPYRGHT LONAL eh GHAR ON Penilingtahonh ie EMERY RAI ICE
