Is geothermal energy green?
Geothermal energy is thermal energy stored beneath the earth's surface. It is clean, renewable, and popular because it can be harnessed from almost anywhere in the world to produce heat and electricity.
Can geothermal energy eliminate the need for electricity?
Yes and no. It would only be able to replace some electricity. it would replace solar electricity and thermal but not water.
Is thermal energy the same as geothermal energy?
Not exactly. Thermal means heat, which can be captured from many places. We can generate electricity from ocean thermal plants, for example, using the difference in temperature between surface and deep water. Geothermal energy is another kind of thermal, from deep under the ground, where we use the heat to turn water into steam and power an electricity turbine.
Why is electrical energy converted into thermal energy?
The most common way of doing that is to use heat to boil water, and then to use the steam off the boiling water to turn turbines. The turbines are then used to turn generators, and they produce electricity. (The heat becomes mechanical energy to generate the electricial energy.) Heat is infared (IR) electromagnetic radiation. A simple and historical concept for conversion would be to use steam turbines. Although some research has been done into collecting IR energy from the Sun (and other sources) using nanotechnology. Thermoelectric generators turn thermal heat directly into electrical energy by heating different types of wire conductors. One type is called a Seebeck generator for its discoverer, Thomas Seebeck. The Seebeck effect is also widely used in voltage measuring devices. Lower-power thermionic generators also produce electrical energy directly from heat energy by ionic means. Some use caesium metal vapor. * Some forms of solar energy systems collect radiant heat from the Sun, heating water in the panels (but most use photovoltaic conversion, turning light energy into electricity).
What kind of energy is geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is thermal energy that is made and stored in the Earth. Thermal energy determines the temperature of things. Geothermal energy can be used for electricity.
Does the thermal cell produces electricity directly from sunlight?
No it doesn't, solar cells produce electricity directly from sunlight.

Should we think more seriously about using sunlight and wind to produce power?
YES WE SHOULD DO IT BECAUSE IT FREE OF COST AND POLLUTION FREE . PAKISTAN HAS VERY SUITABLE SITUATION TO FOLLOWTHESE PROJECTS.
What is the principle of thermal power plant?
To produce electricity by the use of thermal energy in the form of heat.
Does Thermal Energy produce Carbon Dioxide?
Not directly.
What are advantages of thermal power?
The best advantage of thermal power is the price. It is a much cheaper way to produce electricity.
Can uranium be used instead of electricity?
Uranium is used in nuclear power reactors to produce electricity or thermal energy.
What is the functions of a nuclear reactor?
Usually to provide thermal power in order to produce electricity, sometimes to produce radioisotopes
What is the meaning of thermal electricity?
thermal means coal.with coal it produces electricity. this electricity is thermal electricity.
Can fossil fuels be burned to produce thermal energy that can boil water and produce steam?
Yes, that is how they are used to generate electricity.
Is it possible on Philippines to use solar thermal energy to produce electricity?
Where is the sun's solar energy production.
Is a beam of sunlight a thermal energy?
as single beam of sunlight is considered thermal energy.
