Geothermal power does not need to be near volcanos, these are not gazers. it only needs a thin crust, and for your info a feasible study was done in 2007 and malta is a good candidate for geothermal energy. i studied the subject for years. go search Gerom malta and you will find all the info you need. is it not strange that you barely hear about this? ….think

If Ms Caruana Galizia is “Daffy” (couple of posts further up) , does it follow that “Ms Vella” (Astrid) is, as far as you are concerned, Assy?

You must be suffering from a severe case of constipation Go take a laxative and crawl back under your favourite rock.

You see James, it’s not that difficult to get to know the facts and maybe even meet the investor himself. I can assure you he’s no cowboy.

Correction:
“Environmental NGOs call for resignation of Perit Baxxter from Mepa Authority.”

Actually no I wouldn’t. Outsiders have been sticking their noses into the business of N. Ireland for years. It’s called freedom of speech.

[Daphne – There’s the world of difference between international commentary and actually going there and butting in directly over the course of a decade, Tyrrell, while calling yourself a tourist.]

Baxxter, the next thing you need to CHECK is the headlines of the Labour leaning newspapers (that’s all of them, except in-Nazzjon, perhaps) tomorrow morning. Your name will be on all the front pages:

“Environmental NGOs call for resignation of Baxxter from Mepa Authority – project approval scandalous – Mepa Authority needs reality CHECK”
