Costa Rica PPSO faction drafts bill to allow geothermal in national parks

A Costa Rican political faction (PPSO) has allegedly drafted an agreement with state power utility PLN to push legislation authorizing geothermal exploitation in national parks, ostensibly to rescue an electricity opening project. The claim is based on a leaked draft and is unconfirmed; if true, it signals a policy shift on protected-area energy development and could face legal and environmental opposition.
