Resources
Resources are Energy & Minerals we gather from Earth itself. If we can use these Resources today we can prodive Energy without Global Warming.
Geothermal power is energy generated from heat stored in the earth, or the collection of absorbed heat derived from underground.
The largest group of geothermal power plants in the world is located at The Gysers, a geothermal field in California, United State. The Philipinnes and Iceland are the only countries to generate a significant percentage of their electricity from geothermal sources; in both countries 15-20% of power comes from geothermal plants. As of 2008, Geotermal power supplies less than 1% of the world's energy. The most common type of geothermal power plants are closed cycle operations and release essentially no Green House emissions; geothermal power is available 24 hours a day with average availabilities above 90% (compared to about 75% for coal plants).
Geothermal resources range from shallow ground to hot water and rock several kilometres below the Earth's surface, and even further down to the extremely hot molten rock called magma. Wells over 1.5 km deep can be drilled into underground reservoirs to tap steam and very hot water that can be brought to the surface for use in running the Steam Turbine.
Geothermal power requires no fuel, and is therefore virtually emissions free and insusceptible to fluctuations in fuel cost. And because a geothermal power station doesn't rely on transient sources of energy, unlike, for example, wind turbines or solar panels, its capacity factor can be quite large up to 90% in practice.
