Researchers Seek Participants for Focus Groups on Geothermal Energy in Churchill  County

CHURCHILL COUNTY, Nev. — Researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are recruiting community members to participate in a 2.5-hour focus group on geothermal energy.

Participants will receive a $100 Visa gift card, and dinner will be served during the focus group.

The focus groups will explore public opinions about geothermal energy and how the siting and development process could be improved. Information from the focus group will be used to inform recommendations for processes related to geothermal energy development. No prior knowledge is required.

Focus group sessions are planned for May 11 and May 12 at 5:30–8:00 p.m. at the Churchill County Administrative Complex. Participants must be 18 years or older, and advance registration is required. This study is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.

HagenComment text: Maybe there is more to this story than what is reported, but it seems to me that the businesses that are causing this problem ought to be paying for this, or at least a major portion of it. Why does the County have to pay the whole bill?
