Open AI Summary

Summary: This document discusses a training session in the CIA's Project Sun Streak. The viewer was tasked with perceiving and decoding the gestalt of a steam plant and incorporating words such as "vaporous" into their vocabulary. The viewer successfully picked up on the primary gestalt of steam and also recognized the energetics of the plant, such as power lines and transmission of electricity. The monitor was pleased with the viewer's effort during the session. A post-session discussion focused on the differences between the words "airy" and "vaporous" and the various manifestations of the gestalt "energetics". The document also briefly mentions the Cerro Prieto power plant in Mexico and the use of steam-driven turbines to produce electricity.

 METHODOLOGY:    CRV                          VIEWER IDENTIFIER:   025
 1.  (S/NF/SK)   MISSION:   Stage 2 training.   Site was a steam plant
 (geothermal power conversion).   The monitor's primary intent was for
 the viewer to experience the Stage 2s associated with steam clouds;  to
 incorporate into vocabulary percepts/words such as "vaporous".
 3.  (S/NF/SK)   COMMENTS:   025 did a fine job perceiving and decoding
 the primary gestalt  (steam)  and listing appropriate associated Stage
 2s.   Additionally,  the monitor was quite surprised to see the viewer
 pick up on the gestalt of energetics,  i.e.,  power lines  ("along,
 hard")  and transmission of electricity ("motion,  buzzing")   which is,
 of course,  the plant's purpose.
 025 worked harder on this site than on any previous target.     The
 monitor is quite pleaselwith the degree of effort demonstrated during
 the session.
 A post-session discussion/review focused on the differences between
 the ideas "airy" and "vaporous",  and the various manifestations of the
 gestalt  "energetics".

 THE SMELL OF BRIMSTONE hung on
 the air. Steam vents hissed at me like
 snakes. Craters of boiling mud seethed
 and  burped;  black  bubbles  formed,
 swelled, and collapsed with rude plops.
 Heat had created a scabrous landscape al-
 most devoid of vegetation and stained with
 yellow streaks of sulfur and the white crusts
 of mineral salts. It suggested an outpost of
 Dante's Inferno-although it bore the more
 earthly name Laguna Volcano.
 Only a short distance away, towering
 plumes of steam sent a muffled roar to my
 ears. These plumes marked the location of
 the new Cerro Prieto power plant in northern
 Mexico. The heat that drove the electric gen-
 erators of Cerro Prieto was the same heat
 that had created the wasteland at my feet. It
 was the terrible heat from inside the earth.
 The cold, hard crust of our planet gives
 Plumes of hope in the search for energy
 ,
 steam tapped from underground reservoirs
 roars through pressure-release vents at The
 Geysers steam field, where the Pacific Gas
 and Electric Company operates a generat-
 ing plant. Steam-driven turbines produce
 enough        for a ci,ty of half a million.
 The California facility is the only one in the
 U. S. now turning earth heat into electricity.
