The Ancient Romans were among the first to use geothermal energy for bathing and heating in areas with hot springs. However, the modern development and exploration of geothermal energy as a renewable power source can be attributed to Prince Piero Ginori Conti, who built the first geothermal power plant in Larderello, Italy, in 1904.
What else can I help you with?
Will geothermal energy be used in the future?
Yes, geothermal energy is expected to be an important part of the future energy mix due to its reliability, low greenhouse gas emissions, and potential for continuous power generation. As technology advances and deployment costs decrease, more countries are likely to invest in geothermal energy as a sustainable and renewable energy source.
Why is geothermal energy better than coal?
Geothermal energy is better than coal because it is a renewable energy source that produces minimal greenhouse gas emissions. Geothermal energy is considered more sustainable and environmentally friendly compared to coal, which is a fossil fuel that contributes significantly to air pollution and climate change. Additionally, geothermal energy has a smaller environmental footprint and is not dependent on mining or transportation of fuel sources.
Why is the development of geothermal energy not proceeding more rapidly?
Not everywhere is suitable for geothermal, as it needs suitable hot rocks not too far below the surface of the earth. It is also easier to keep buying and burning coal in existing power stations. Only when the old power stations have to be renewed do business and governments think of renewable energy.
What kind of energy does the Earth have?
The Earth has various forms of energy, including geothermal energy from its inner heat, tidal energy from gravitational forces, and solar energy from the Sun. Additionally, the Earth has kinetic energy from its rotation and potential energy from its position in space.
What are the differences between geothermal and tidal energy?
Geothermal is taken from heat being made by the insides of the earth, usually in the form of hot springs and steam. Think Yellowstone. Tidal is taken from the changing of high tide to low tide and vise versa. It's a formal of hydroelectricity. Both of these are very "green" ways of harvesting energy unlike coal burning.
What do you call the energy from beneath the earths surface?
It is called geothermal energy.
What energy is easier to store?
i think geothermal energy is easier to store
Do you think Geothermal energy could be used in scotland?
Sure.
What is one use of geothermal energy?
many countries having these resource like America
Why does Mexico use geothermal energy?
The think the it helps the Earth.😒
In addition to Iceland and Hawaii what else on earth do you think people courage geothermal energy What if HDR became economical?
In addition to Iceland and Hawaii what else on earth do you think people courage geothermal energy What if HDR became economical?
Most energy produced in the US comes from and?
I think most energy used up in US are hydro, geothermal and wind energy.

What energy source is a result of the uneven heating of the earth's surface?
I think either geothermal or wind
Why is geothermal energy better than coal?

Is geothermal energy an unlimited source of cheap energy?
no it is not because all the equipment that goes down into the arth costs alot.
How can geothermal be converted to energy?
Geothermal is energy, we don't convert it to energy. I think what you're really asking is how can we convert geothermal energy into work. There are geothermal energy fields near Calistoga California. There they simply bore into the ground where the natural hot steam is found from volcanic action and siphon off the steam. That steam is funneled through turbines that turn and power up attached electricity generators. Then the geothermal energy converted to electrical energy is used in the conventional way to power up appliances and such in homes and buildings to do work. The power plant there is called Calpine.
