VERY SLOWLY if you mean wind and solar alternatives. If you review total world energy consumption wind and solar at around 2% after trillions of money wasted on subsidies. The simple reason is intermittency that is easy to understand. There is no such thing as a… Read More »How quickly is the world embracing renewable energy?
An energy crisis can be natural caused by severe storms knocking our electrical power or man made by poor choices in government energy policy evident in the UK from harmful subsidies to renewables causing mortal heat poverty. Research shows more seniors die of fuel poverty… Read More »What is an energy crisis? How can it be prevented?
Geothermal power is generated from underground heat. Found around the globe and available year-round, this largely untapped renewable energy source offers the advantage of steady, predictable large-scale power generation, in comparison to the higher variability of solar and wind power. This technology brief from the… Read More »Geothermal power: Technology brief
Did you know that 10,000 years ago, the first American Indians built their settlements around hot springs in North America? They used this naturally available source of warm water for cooking, bathing and to keep warm [1]. Without knowing, they had been utilizing the immense reservoir… Read More »Geothermal Energy Pros and Cons
Heat Flux From Below Melts Ice Sheets, drives Temperatures & CO2 Variations. It has long been established in the peer-reviewed scientific literature that naturally-driven fluctuations in the Earth’s surface temperature preceded the rise and fall of carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations for at least the last 800,000 years. As oceans warm,… Read More »Surface Temperature influenced by Geothermal Heat Flux
Geothermal energy is safe, reliable, and resides just beneath our feet. It can help meet U.S. energy demands by supplying power to our electric grid and can even be used to heat and cool homes and businesses. So what are the facts about geothermal energy? We’ve… Read More »Geothermal works 24 hours a day and 365 days a year
This chart below shows the top ten geothermal countries with the world’s highest installed generating capacity, of which four of the five countries are located in the Pacific’s “Ring of Fire” area and comprises the 1 GigaWatt Country Club in 2019, Karl Gawell et.al (2013) in Lester… Read More »Issue: Why is geothermal weather proof?
