RAEL'S COMMENT: This is the future. And it's especially true in Japan, where instead of dangerous, Fukushima-style nuclear plants, there are volcanoes almost everywhere! There are almost no Japanese cities without an "onsen," a public bath with very hot water coming naturally from underground. Constructing nuclear plants in Japan was absolute stupidity.

Icelandic volcanoes could heat British homes

Volcanic heat from Iceland could generate electricity to power British homes within a decade, according to experts.

The geothermal energy would be piped to Britain through the world's longest seabed power cable but would be no more expensive than the next generation of nuclear energy.
The man overseeing the project, Hörður Arnarson, the head of Iceland's state-owned power producer Landsvirkjun, said that it could be completed by 2020.
He told the Times: "This is a technically challenging project, there's no doubt, but there is no doubt in our mind that it is doable."
"Both the length and the depth [of the cable needed] has been tested."
He added: "All our energy production is renewable, with hydro and geothermal production.
On top of that, we are producing by far the most electricity per capita- we are producing five times more electricity than a country with this population usually needs."
For the project to be successful a cable would have to be at least 1,000km (620 miles) long, making it the longest in the world.
In May then energy minister Charles Hendry visited Iceland to discuss connecting the UK to its geothermal energy.
Hendry argued that the proposal would keep Britain's consumer energy prices low by providing an alternative when calm weather prevented wind farms from producing electricity.
The Government has already signed a memorandum of understanding with Iceland, stating interest in the scheme.

WARNING FROM RAEL: For those who don't use their intelligence at its full capacity, the label "selected by RAEL" on some articles does not mean that I agree with their content or support it. "Selected by RAEL" means that I believe it is important for the people of this planet to know about what people think or do, even when what they think or do is completely stupid and against our philosophy. When I selected articles in the past about stupid Christian fundamentalists in America praying for rain, I am sure no Rael-Science reader was stupid enough to believe that I was supporting praying to change the weather. So, when I select articles which are in favor of drugs, anti-semitic, anti-Jewish, racist, revisionist, or inciting hatred against any group or religion, or any other stupid article, it does not mean that I support them. It just means that it is important for all human beings to know about them. Common sense, which is usually very good among our readers, is good enough to understand that. When, like in the recent articles on drug decriminalization, it is necessary to make it clearer, I add a comment, which in this case was very clear: I support decriminalizing all drugs, as it is stupid to throw depressed and sad people (as only depressed and sad people use drugs) in prison and ruin their life with a criminal record. That does not mean that there is any change to the Message which says clearly that we must not use any drug except for medical purposes. The same applies to the freedom of expression which must be absolute. That does not mean again of course that I agree with anti-Jews, antisemites, racists of any kind or anti-Raelians. But by knowing your enemies or the enemies of your values, you are better equipped to fight them. With love and respect of course, and with the wonderful sentence of the French philosopher Voltaire in mind: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ethics" is simply a last-gasp attempt by deist conservatives and
orthodox dogmatics to keep humanity in ignorance and obscurantism,
through the well tried fermentation of fear, the fear of science and
new technologies.
 
There is nothing glorious about what our ancestors call history, 
it is simply a succession of mistakes, intolerances and violations.
 
On the contrary, let us embrace Science and the new technologies
unfettered, for it is these which will liberate mankind from the
myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease,
death and the sweat of labour.
 
Rael
