No news on drilling
Neither Nevis nor Montserrat have posted any updates on drilling according to the lack of Google alerts found in my inbox. It seems that in the months since a contact for drilling was awarded, not much has happened. Seems like a few hundred years ago that the French and the English were both fighting over ownership of Montserrat. Obviously the British won and now Montserrat is a British colony.
IF Montserrat were a French colony instead, more than likely Montserrat would have an operation Geothermal plant. Of course the French could not stop the volcano from doing her dance.
Did anyone notice?? July is over and there was no new eruption or dance from the volcano. In the past few years a July display of the Volcano’s spirits was half expected and half dreaded.
There was some sort of “secret” report from Nevis on the “official” Geothermal website. According to the Google alert this information could only be accessed via a secret password. Seem like the Geothermal power plant should be well into its construction phase. So far all the PR photos are of geothermal well heads in the background and a group of smiling men.
For the sake of the electric customers on Nevis let’s hope that they get to see a reduction in their power bills sometime very soon.
