What else can I help you with?
Can geothermal energy be obtained in your area?
Depends how far down you drill doesn't it.
How do we know that earth is hot?
Heat escapes from the inside of the Earth. This can be used for geothermal energy. If you drill deep down inside the Earth, deeper down it is hotter than at the surface.
Which place would be more likely to be able to use geothermal energy A city near a volcano or a city near a waterfall?
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.
Why would you want to do a drill down?
Well if something is facing down you would need to drill down.
How is geothermal energy stored in the source and how is released?
Geothermal energy is typically stored just below the Earth's surface. It is released when people dig down into the Earth and use it's heat energy to cool down or warm up homes.

What are the parts of geothermal power plants?
Two holes are drilled down into the rock, often several kilometres deep, to reach very hot rock layers.Water is pumped down one and comes up the other, bubbling and steaming.This steam (or hot water) is used to spin a turbine (the same way as a coal fired power station).Electricity generated is fed into the grid and is sold to customers.The equipment needed : Water, which can be reycled indefinitely.A pump.A turbine generator.And originally, a huge drill to drill the shafts.
How far do they drill down to get to geothermal energy?
The depth of drilling for geothermal energy can vary depending on local geology, but typically ranges from 1,500 to 10,000 feet deep. In some cases, drilling may go even deeper to reach hotter temperatures for enhanced geothermal systems. The goal is to tap into naturally occurring heat below the Earth's surface to generate electricity or provide heating.
What does geo-thermal mean?
Geo thermal is word made up from two Greek words for Earth and Heat. Geothermal is therefor heat from the earth The temperature of the earth rises as you go down towards the core. The heat gets so intense that rocks are molten (magma and lava). Some locations on the earths surface have "hot spots" where this hot rock is close to the surface (Iceland) and people can drill down to it to use the heat as an energy source or use naturally occurring stream sources (geysers) for power. Geothermal energy i cheap, environmentaly friendly and interesting.
What are some reasons geothermal is not used more?
Installing a geothermal system in a home might cost 2-3 times as much as a conventional HVAC system. However, there are large tax rebates available to homeowners that install geothermal systems and the system usually pays for itself in less than 5 years. There are not too many companies that install geothermal systems either. You might have difficulty finding a company near your home. Once the technology becomes more commonplace, the price will come down and the availability will increase. If you want to learn more abotu geothermal techonology, please visit www.goeggsystems.com
Should a geothermal system be installed under a parking lot?
Hello, Jamison here, GEOTHERMALS work from deep down, It would not matter if it is A LOT,,,,,,,,,Jamison.
What conditioning drill is Vince Lombardi famous for?
