Episode Description

As Utah grows, we need more energy -- that's just a fact. So a new geothermal power plant coming to southwestern Utah sounds like a pretty great thing, right? Well, maybe not. A new power plant near Milford won't send any of its power to Utah, at least not at the beginning. Instead, Google and California will take most of the power.
