Looks like the Navy is entertaining the idea of a geothermal plant in the area of the Superstition Mtns. They say it will not affect the OHV area but we'll see, we'll see. Need to keep an eye on this one we all know what happens when they get scared that we may play a little too close to their project.
Navy discusses geothermal project" (Imperial Valley Press, 5/29/08)
"The United States Navy is in the opening stages of exploring the possibility of constructing a geothermal plant in the Superstition Mountain area. And should it be built, it would have little, if any, impact on off-highway vehicle use," said Navy officials. "The project area the Navy will be studying before moving forward with a project in the Superstition area covers 3,110 acres of Navy land in the Superstition area that is utilized by Naval Air Facility El Centro. The study will also cover 2,830 acres of adjacent Bureau of Land Management land."
