An eventful year 2011 comes to an end and it is time to wish you and your families a joyful and regenerating holiday season and all the best for the year to come. Thank you for all your support the past year. Let's keep up the fight for geothermal.

ThinkGeoEnergy wishes you and your families a joyful holiday season and a happy New Year. With the economic times being uncertain as they are, things are not going to be easy for all of us, but at the same time we are all working for an industry that will provides a much needed clean and sustainable energy source for generations to come.

ThinkGeoEnergy would like to thank its advertisement partners that have helped to keep the site running. So my sincere thanks to Íslandsbanki, Iceland GeoSurvey (ISOR), GeothermEx, Hannon Armstrong, Verkís, Mannvit, Technip, Iceland Drilling and the many other firms who have helped in one or another way.

This year was quite an active one for ThinkGeoEnergy. Finally late this summer, the Geothermal Job Portal was launched with now several jobs posted. Clearly it will need to grow and it will.

Earlier this month GeoEnergy, the iPhone news app for ThinkGeoEnergy was published on the App Store and allows a condense news overview for those of you using an iPhone. It will be tried to offer an Android app as well, but this might take a while.

In October, ThinkGeoEnergy – together with ISOR – published the Geothermal Power Map, a printed world map with the locations of the geothermal fields of this world. The online version is still a work-in-progress, but will be worked to a useable format in 2012.

To many of you, I would like to extend my gratitude for your ongoing dedication to geothermal energy and development in general. Many of you became good friends and I cherish our friendship and ongoing cooperation. Keep up the fight for development in Asia, the Pacific region, Australia, U.S., Canada, Chile, Argentina, Turkey and so on.

I wish you all a peaceful and regenerating holiday season. I am looking forward seeing many of you at the several geothermal events in 2012.

With all the best wishes for 2012,

Alex(ander) Richter
