Geothermal

Geothermal energy continually flows outward from within the earth. This heat energy comes mostly from the core, where temperature may reach 7000°C. The earth's crust is 5 to 75 km thick, and the heat can be used as an energy source where it is available near the surface because there is a thin crust or a fracture zone.

Iceland is one of the most effective country in capturing geothermal energy and using i to make electricity. when water seeps into the cracks of the fissures, it is superheated by magma. the water turns into steam and escapes like a geyser and the steam rotates turbine blades creating electricity.

possibly six percent

No, not by wearing it once. But if it is a light bikini, and you wear it often in the Blue Lagoon, it will maybe begin to change its color, but I don't have the experience of that happening.

Perhaps they thought coal would last forever and nobody would worry about carbon dioxide and global warming.

Geothermal energy requires a huge infrastructure, far more so than utilising fossil fuels. It is possible nowadays that more advantage may be made of it due to rising costs of fossil fuels and the fact that they are becoming more scarce.

Many people do not consider climate change as an imminent threat and will continue using fossil fuels because on the economics involved.

HDPE pipe is high-density polyethylene plastic pipe often used for drainage in household plumbing. HDPE is also used for electrical and communication applications. HDPE is available with different diameter and wall thickness dpeneding upon the application. It is also available with UL rating. HDPE pipes can be used for water supply, dredging, gas supply, mining used and so on. Luoyang Max Import & Export Trading Co., Ltd. is prefessional in HDPE pipes. Welcome to your inquiry.

so people dont get shocked

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.

sounds good. ground loops work and there are sites on the web showing how to and such. > I wanted to put a car radiator in a friends cabin and another in the river out back. A small pump and plastic piping would have done a number on the hot weather. He opted for a large window unit.

The paleo-Indians of North America used geothermal energy 10,000 years ago to cook food. In the 18th century Italy used geothermal energy for industrial purposes, but the first geothermal power plant was put in in 1913.

From what I have read, it uses the heat of vaporization to create a vacuum due to condensation.

So as steam condenses its volume is reduced. This creates a vacuum which increases the pressure drop accross the turbine. The larger the pressure drop accross the turbine, the better.

I'm not an expert tho...

All three are volcanic islands with thermal vents reaching all the way down to the mantle.

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.

any where hehe

In the near future, most electricity will come from hydroelectric, Solar and Wind energy technology and or a mixture of all

Yes the geothermal are expensive to fix because they have to use the same process of installing it at first

A geo thermal power plant uses the heat provided deep below the earths surface combined with water to create super heated steam, which then powers a turbine to produce electricity.
Geothermal plant is a power plant using thermal energy from underground to boil the water and pass through turbine producing electricity.

• Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are the bad ways to generate electricity, because they add long-hidden carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere, causing global warming and climate change.
• Burning biofuels, (biomass, biodiesel etc) are neutral. They release carbon dioxide when burnt, but that carbon was recently removed from the atmosphere when the plants were grown, so biofuel is carbon-neutral.
• Solar, wind, hydroelectric, wave, tidal, geothermal and any other renewable energy are the good ways to generate electricity, as they have no carbon emissions.
• Nuclear power plants are another emission-free method of generating electricity. Nuclear does not contribute to global warming, but many people are afraid of nuclear accidents, and there is a problem of safely containing the remaining nuclear matter.

You can't have geothermal power plants where there are no hot rocks close to the surface of the earth.

For geothermal energy you have to be able to pump down water deep into the ground and bring it up by another well, hot enough to drive steam turbines.

If u eat it it comes ouyt as asolid fromteh other end. THat's afact because Mr.Maker's yomamma died from the smell of it. THanks. I'm gonna go cry.

Heat energy used to melt metal ores comes from various sources such as combustion of fossil fuels like coal or gas, electric resistance heating, or from exothermic chemical reactions. The energy source depends on the specific process and the availability of resources.
