Why geothermal energy widely accepeted today?
yes
Is geothermal energy technology widely accepted today and why?
yes because it is renewable
Why isn't geothermal energy not used widely?
Geothermal energy is not widely used because of the cost, and the availability. It is most available along the "Ring of Fire" or a major plate boundary. Where hot springs are located, and magma is closest to the surface.
What can geothermal energy heat?
Anything you want It is widely used in Scandinavian countries for home heating. Especially Finland.
What are the limits on geothermal energy?
At some point in the distant future the earth's molten core will cool and solidify. At this point earth will lose its protective magnetic field and plate tectonics will come to an end. Also, the geothermal energy sources will no longer be available. We are talking about millions of years from now. Possibly a billion or more.Naturally occurring geothermal vents are not widely availableExpensive to set up and may not be close to the electricity grid.

Is wind energy widely accepted?
Wind energy should be widely accepted as it produces energy which doesn't pollute the environment . Artifical resources such as petroleum , diesel destroy the ozone layer of the Earth . Wind energy does not pollute the environment . So wind energy should be accepted and widely launched .
Why is geothermal energy accepted today?
Yes. In places like Key West or lorida people drive around in golfcarts or electric cars.
Is solar energy widely used?
Yes
Is solar technology widely accepted today?
Though a non-polluting renewable source of energy, it is not widely accepted today. here's why: When it is hot and the sun is hot, it falls on the solar ray. The heat gets converted into energy through a transformer, and gets stored in a bunch of batteries. When it is night, there is no heeat to get converted to energy, so we have to depend on the stored energy in the batteries. If the energy in the batteries run out, we won't have electricity till the sun comes out again. This goes for cars, and homes.
Is nuclear energy widely used as an energy source in the world?
It is widely used but not as much as hydrocarbons and hydroelectric. Japan has extensive nuclear facilities, Europe has many.
What alternative energy is widely used in the Philippines?
y
Which are the two most use types of energy you use?
