Understanding The Benefits Of Geothermal Energy
Yellowstone is not just a geyser. Besides being a great place to visit, this favorite tourist destination is a great visual example of geothermal energy. Impressive as Yellowstone is to visit, it s just one small example of an incredibly huge source of clean, sustainable energy. Geothermal energy-literally, heat from the earth-is a clean, abundant and versatile natural resource that s just waiting to meet an ever greater share of the world s steadily escalating energy needs. This source of energy can be used in three ways: for electricity production, directly to provide heat and via geothermal heat pumps. Today, geothermal resources already supply about 6 percent of the energy produced in California, 10 percent in northern Nevada, 25 percent on the island of Hawaii, as well as significant power in Utah. Geothermal steam and hot water are routinely used to generate electric power with the gentlest of environmental impacts. Thermal waters...
