Some can be dug as far as 300 feet , if space is limited .
If their is a lot of land available , pipes can be buried horizontally in shallow trenches 4 to 6 feet under ground , where the temperature remains almost the same year round .

Typically, geothermal wells can be drilled anywhere from a few hundred feet to several thousand feet deep, depending on the location and geology of the site. The depth is specifically determined by factors such as the temperature gradient of the earth's crust and the type of geothermal system being installed.

How far do they drill down to get to geothermal energy?
200100 miles
Can geothermal energy be obtained in your area?
Depends how far down you drill doesn't it.
How do you power geothermal energy?
From the heat of the Earth's core. How ? You drill down until you get to a place where its hot enough to do whatever you want.
How do we know that earth is hot?
Heat escapes from the inside of the Earth. This can be used for geothermal energy. If you drill deep down inside the Earth, deeper down it is hotter than at the surface.
Which place would be more likely to be able to use geothermal energy A city near a volcano or a city near a waterfall?
A city near a volcano would be more likely to use geothermal energy. Geothermal means heat from under the ground, and near a volcano there would be many areas to drill down to tap this heat.
How does geothermal energy come from rocks?
If you drill deep down into the earth and pump water down the shaft it will become very hot. This hot water, even steam, can be brought up another shaft to the surface where it can be used for heating and generating electricity.
Why would you want to do a drill down?
Well if something is facing down you would need to drill down.
How is geothermal stored in the source and how is the energy released?
Geothermal energy is typically stored just below the Earth's surface. It is released when people dig down into the Earth and use it's heat energy to cool down or warm up homes.

What are some reasons geothermal is not used more?
Installing a geothermal system in a home might cost 2-3 times as much as a conventional HVAC system. However, there are large tax rebates available to homeowners that install geothermal systems and the system usually pays for itself in less than 5 years. There are not too many companies that install geothermal systems either. You might have difficulty finding a company near your home. Once the technology becomes more commonplace, the price will come down and the availability will increase. If you want to learn more abotu geothermal techonology, please visit www.goeggsystems.com
Should a geothermal system be installed under a parking lot?
Hello, Jamison here, GEOTHERMALS work from deep down, It would not matter if it is A LOT,,,,,,,,,Jamison.
