Geothermal energy is harvested by drilling holes into bedrock that has sufficient nuclear decay to be warm, filling pipes (or the hole directly) with a liquid that is pumped back to the surface and where a heat exchanger transfers the heat to another medium (liquid).

Does geothermal power leave a carbo footprint?

A small one yes. To harvest the geothermal energy you need to drill, build plant and infrastructure. This drilling, and construction has a carbon footprint (it needs energy to do). However the geothermal energy harvested has no carbon footprint.


Can geothermal energy be harvested?

Yes, geothermal energy can be harvested by tapping into the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface through drilling wells to access hot water and steam. This heat can then be used for various purposes, such as generating electricity or heating buildings. Geothermal energy is a renewable and sustainable source of energy that has the potential to provide a stable supply of power.

Cost of geothermal?

The cost of geothermal energy depends on how far down you dig. When going for the hot rock deposits, the cost can be quite great because of repairs, etc. But when only going down a few hundred feet, the cost becomes much less. You are able to harvest your own geothermal energy for your house or business.
