The energy is stored deep in the earth, except for a few favored locations, so the only but very high costs, are associated with the system that transfers the heat out of the earth to where it's needed. While there are no generating cost as with electricity, the cost is still substantial.
Further, there probably will be some politically imposed costs, though. The imposition of regulations, taxes, and fees by governments, looms as a (almost certain) set of added costs if the use of geothermal energy becomes cost-effective and wide spread.
What else can I help you with?
When is a body said to possess kinetic energy?
A body is said to possess kinetic energy when it is in motion. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion and is dependent on both its mass and velocity.
Is electric energy renewable resource?
Yes, electric energy can be considered a renewable resource when it is generated from renewable sources such as solar, wind, hydro, or geothermal energy. These sources are constantly replenished and do not deplete over time, making them sustainable options for generating electricity.
True or false Your body can extract energy from almost any type of food?
It has been said humans can live on any sort of food. By definition food must mean something that provides energy, if not then it is not food.
What is the name of a chemical reaction that gives out energy?
A chemical reaction that produces energy is said to be exothermic. In comparison, if it consumes energy it is endothermic.
In a reaction If the energy of a product is less where does excess the energy go?
It is released as heat and/or light, the reaction is said to be exothermic.
What is the efficiency of geothermal power?
The cost of geothermal energy can be extremely low depending on how you approach the use of this free renewable energy. Geothermal energy is heat contained within the earth, and there are a number of ways in which we can use this energy.
Is solar power better than geothermal energy?
There really isn't a "better" type of energy but solar doesn't affect the Earth as much as geothermal energy because we always get the sun but with geothermal energy we have to use more resources. But then again if we have solar energy then when it's dark we don't have the sun to power things unless we stored it which is very complex. so as i said there really isn't a better energy source.
What are the advantages to using geothermal vs non renewable energy?
you said it yourself…it's renewable. less messy too, i guess. no need to excavate tons of coal. but then, i guess the cost of the equipment used to process geothermal energy is probably higher.
What type of volcano is mount Fujiyama?
Active, last erupted in the 16th century but is used today for geothermal energy. (And its said Fuji-san not Fuji-yama ><)
What will happen in the year 2300?
That cannot be said with certainty. In the year 2300, there may be more buildings than now. A lot of electricity will come from hydroelectricity or geothermal energy.
Does Michigan use geothermal energy?
The U.S. Geothermal Production and Development Update, August 2008, published by the Washington, D.C.-based Geothermal Energy Association, shows a 20% increase in the number of new geothermal power projects under development in the U.S. as of January 2008. "The surge in new geothermal power development continues," said Karl Gawell, GEA's Executive Director. The report identified 103 projects underway in 13 states (see Table, below). When developed, these projects could potentially supply up to 3,979 MW of power, meeting the needs of roughly 4 million homes. When we add that number to the 2,957 MW currently online, geothermal power could reach nearly 7,000 MW. At this pace of development, geothermal production could exceed 15,000 MW by 2025, which is significantly more more than the 12,558 MW projected by the Geothermal Task Force in a report that was submitted to the Western Governors' Clean and Diversified Energy Initiative in 2006. http://www.geo-energy.org/publications/reports/Geothermal_Update_August_7_2008_FINAL.pdf You can obtain the full report at the above website. I can see no reference to Michigan
What is energy in Latin?
The English word energy is said in Latin as the word vis. In Italian it is said as energia and in German it is said as energie.
Does Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day have his Canadian citizenship?
He almost does he said. At his concert, he said he's almost a Canadian citizen!
What are some energy efficient appliances?
It depends on what you are thinking on. For inside, lights charged by solar-power, hydro-power, geothermal energy, wind energy and biomass are all good choices. They help save electricity. Cold water washers and gas stoves instead of an electric stove is also good. Solar panels and insulation will help as well. yeah like he/she said
Is earth running out of energy?
Energy doesnt run out, it is just transferred. For example, a ball in a high place is said to have potential kinetic energy, if it then falls that energy is transferred to kinetic and thermal energy. Upon rest, the ball again has potential kinetic energy.
When is a body said to possess kinetic energy?
A body is said to possess kinetic energy when it is in motion. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion and is dependent on both its mass and velocity.
Who said free at last free at last thank God almighty free at last?
That was said by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
