Recently, oil & gas wells off the west coast of Caissa Superiore (Upper Caisse) have begun to run dry resulting in the layoff of thousands of workers, mostly from the local Flong and Creole populations. There is now an urgent call to re-train the workforce to convert the oil & gas wells to produce geothermal energy.
The republic of San Serriffe is located on the seismically active mid-indian ocean ridge near the Seychelle Islands. The potential capacity of the renewable resource has been estimated as upwards of 500 MWe.
San Serriffe comprises of two islands, Upper Caisse and Lower Caisse, shaped curiously like a semi-colon. Since it's first exposure to the outside world on April 1, 1977, the island has struggled for acceptance but now with the discovery of geothermal energy it could become a powerhouse for the southern Indian Ocean.
