Geothermal energy, energy of the future?

Geothermal energy, energy of the future?

REPORT: In the French countryside, technicians are experimenting with geothermal heat energy as an alternative energy source. (V. Morgan et P. Lovett) Video Rating: 4 / 5 Across Australia, thousands of people are already working to develop new technologies and harness cleaner energy sources. These include solar, gas, wind, and hydro, along...

Geothermal energy illustration

A production well is drilled into a known geothermal reservoir. Typically, an injection well is also drilled to return used geothermal fluids to the geothermal reservoir. Hot, pressurized geothermal fluid, or a secondary working fluid, is allowed to expand rapidly and provide rotational or mechanical energy to turn the turbine blades on a shaft....

Geothermal Electric Generators – Chena, Alaska

Geothermal electricity generators at Chena Hot Springs resort and research center, near Fairbanks, Alaska. Warm water from the hot-springs provides energy which is converted to electric power. Two generators are operational while the third (right-most) is offline for repair and maintenance. These generators provide all the electric power for the...
