METHODOLOGY: CRV VIEWER IDENTIFIER: 025
1. (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".
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 pleaselwith the degree of effort demonstrated during
the session.
A post-session discussion/review focused on the differences between
the ideas "airy" and "vaporous", and the various manifestations of the
gestalt "energetics".

THE 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
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 produce
enough for a ci,ty of half a million.
The California facility is the only one in the
U. S. now turning earth heat into electricity.
