Geothermal Energy, Weighing its Importance : Eco Articles

Ok I am non stop on the
lookout for informative stuff on
Alternative Energy Sources. Now, I
discovered a really
fun piece of content that talks
about Eco Energy Sources from a new
perspective. Today’s find is titled Geothermal Energy, Weighing its Importance .

Article by Frezel Enriquez

Geothermal energy is a form of thermal energy that is stored and generated in the earth. Thermal energy is a form of energy that determines the temperature of any matter in the earth's surface while the geothermal energy of the earth from the original formation of the planet, from volcanic activity, from radioactive decay and from solar energy absorbed at the surface.The geothermal gradient, which is the difference in temperature between the core of the planet and its surface, drives a continuous conduction of thermal energy in the form of heat from the core to the surface.

Also in the US, the battle rages on between Congress and the Geothermal Energy Association (GEA). The GEA’s Executive Director Karl Gawell has recently written to the Congress and the Department of Energy, the only way to ensure that DOE and OMB do not simply revert to their irrational insistence on terminating the geothermal research program is to schedule a congressional hearing specifically on geothermal form of energy, its potential, and the role of federal research. Furthermore, Gawell goes on to say that recent studies by the National Research Council, the Western Governors’ Association Clean Energy Task Force and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology all support expanding geothermal research funding to develop the technology necessary to utilize this vast, untapped domestic renewable energy resource.

Supporters of geothermal form of energy, such as this writer, are amazed at the minuscule amount of awareness that the public has about the huge benefits that research and development of the renewable alternative energy source would provide the US, both practically and economically. Geothermal form of energy is already less expensive to produce in terms of kilowatt-hours than the coal that the US keeps mining. Geothermal energy is readily available, sitting just a few miles below our feet and easily accessible through drilling. One company, Ormat, which is the third largest geothermal energy producer in the US and has plants in several different nations, is already a billion-dollar-per-year business—geothermal energy is certainly economically viable.
