Implementing geothermal energy in a city can vary depending on factors such as existing infrastructure, resources, and funding. However, with proper planning and resources, it can take several years from initial feasibility studies to actual implementation. This process involves site assessments, drilling for wells, building power plants, and connecting to the grid.
Geothermal energy comes from heat underground. One finds that near volcanic activity. Waterfalls can be used to produce hydroelectric power.
To create geothermal energy you need a source of heat in a safe place near the surface of the earth and you need water. Since it is costly to send electricity over 700 miles and make a profit, you need a large population nearby to purchase the energy you produce. In Italy, Mt. Etna provides heat near the surface but it frequently erupts. It would not be a safe place to put your geothermal energy plant. The Big Island of Hawaii has plenty of geothermal energy. It could produce enough to supply the entire United States. No way exists to get it there. The distance is too great and an ocean is in the way. California has some south of Mt. Lassen. It has water that it can heat. It can sell it to San Francisco. That is the one place where the United States can produce it profitably. The Pacific Coast of Chile could produce it profitably and light the city of Santiago. Columbia has the potential. It is in the midst of a revolution. No one in his right mind would invest money while the revolution is occurring. Mexico could supply Mexico with geothermal energy, and Mexicans could pay a small fraction of their current rates for electricity. Socialism controls the energy markets. A few politically connected bureaucrats determine where money may be invested. Thus in Mexico you would need a political climate that would allow geothermal energy. Indonesia has tremendous potential for geothermal energy. You will have to do your own research on the status of it in that area.
Some of the geothermal power plants in the Philippines include the Tiwi geothermal power plant located in Albay, the Makiling-Banahaw (MakBan) geothermal power plant in Laguna and Batangas, and the Mindanao geothermal power plant in Kidapawan City. These plants harness the natural heat of the earth to generate electricity.
Yes, Rotorua is known for its geothermal activity, which can produce a distinct smell of sulfur due to the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas in the area. This sulfuric smell is often noticeable in various parts of the city.
No, a single bolt of lightning does not contain enough energy to power an entire city. Lightning strikes have a very high voltage but their duration is very short, and the total energy produced is not sufficient for powering a city for an extended period of time.
You have to have a source of geothermal energy within reach, which not many cities have.
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.

Reykjavik, the capital city of Iceland, is heated by geothermal energy including geysers. This renewable energy source provides heat and hot water to a large portion of the city's residents through a district heating system.
Well, let's imagine geothermal energy as a warm, bubbling spring bringing comfort and energy. A non-example would be a traditional coal power plant, which relies on burning fossil fuels to generate electricity. It's like comparing a peaceful meadow to a bustling city - they're just different ways of creating energy.
The main city in Iceland has a o CO2 outlet powersauce through geothermal. Thaks for the Q

Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, is heated by volcanic springs. The city's geothermal energy infrastructure harnesses the heat from underground geothermal sources to provide heating for homes and businesses in the area.
