Let us say that we would like to know if there is enough energy to provide the Earth's current population of nearly seven billion people with a standard of living that will satisfy them; the answer then will be no, there isn't. The Earth will need more energy.

Why does earth get energy from sun and not other stars?

The sun is the only star close enough to provide Earth with any significant amount of energy. The amount of light reaches Earth from other stars is just enough so that we can see them.


Geothermal energy is an alternative energy source However it is not resourceful enough to replace more than a minor amount of the Earth's energy needs Why is this?

That will happen if they lose movement energy - usually due to atmospheric drag, if they are not high enough above Earth.


Is geothermal energy being used up rapidly?

No. There is more than enough heat in the center of the earth to supply the earth's power needs for billions of years.


Could releasing of geothermal energy from within the Earth's core cause a geological implosion of the Earth or in other words suck the surface of the Earth into its own core?

No, the release of geothermal energy from within the Earth's core cannot cause the Earth to implode or for the surface to be sucked into the core. Geothermal energy is released naturally through volcanic activity and geothermal power plants, and while it can cause eruptions or earthquakes, it is not powerful enough to implode the Earth. The Earth's structure is stable enough to withstand these natural processes.


How much energy can the sun provide?

According to the American Solar Energy Society, enough sunlight falls on the earth's surface each minute to meet world energy demand for an entire year.
