The paleo-Indians of North America used geothermal energy 10,000 years ago to cook food. In the 18th century Italy used geothermal energy for industrial purposes, but the first geothermal power plant was put in in 1913.

Father of Geothermal Energy of the Philippines is Arturo Alcaraz. His contribution creates a great impact in our life because he is the one that powered an electric bulb through geothermal energy.


What are some strengths of geothermal?

Geothermal energy is considered a renewable energy source. Which means that, unlike the fossil fuels we rely on for energy, we can continue to use geothermal without having to be concerned that we will run out of energy. In terms of electricity generation, a geothermal power plant will emit only about 1% of the carbon dioxide that a fossil fuel powered plant would produce to generate the same amount of electricity. Although this may not be as good as solar or wind powered forms of electricity generation, geothermal does have the advantage of being able to produce a steady supply of electricity 24/7, something that most renewable energy sources can't.


Contribution of arturo alcaraz?

Arturo Alcaraz is the one who powered an electric light bulb using steam-powered electricity (geothermal energy) near the town of Tiwi in the Philippines which gave him the title, "Father of Geothermal Energy of the Philippines"


Oldest type of energy known to man is?

The oldest energy known to man is Geothermal energy.This geothermal energy originates from the original formation of the planet, from radioactive decay of minerals, and from solar energy absorbed at the surface. It has been used for space heating and bathing since ancient Roman times, but is now better known for generating electricity
