training target 4* 94, Steam Plant, CA.
2. (S/NF/SK) VIEWER TASKING: Encrypted coordinates

3. (S/NF/SK) COMMENTS: Stages. 1-3 were executed perfectly.. In
stage 4, however, 032 went into AOL drive. The only cause +or
the drive I could determine was 032's severe cold. His
congestion was so bad he could hardly breathe. This cold was
r
several times worse any of 032's previous colds (which he worked
through without any difficulty). To avoid another failed
sess:i.on, I will wait until his cold subsides before working
again.

ASSIST., EINTOR
HE SMELL OF BRIMSTONE hung on
the air. Steam vents hissed at me like
' snakes. Craters of boiling mud seethed
and burped; bla.ck 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
Mexico. The heat that drove the electric gen-
erators of Cerro Prieto was the 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 rowhi e
enough la= for a ci,,ty of half a million.
The California facility is the only one in the
U. S. now turning earth heat into elec p r
