I was searching up topics on the National Geographic website and came across an article on Geothermal Energy. It is energy that can be extracted from under the Earth's crust. The reservoirs of hot water and steam can be used to heat buildings and homes! I think it's amazing how many different ways there are to produce energy, but we're still so reliant on oil even though it is so hazardous to the environment.

How neat is this? I think this is a great idea. Using the upper 10 ft of the earth to heat our buildings is so resourceful. I agree that it is awesome that there are so many ways to get energy. I just wished we used this resource more.
ReplyDeleteI read a lot about geothermal energy in my read n' seed book. It is a very resourceful way to heat buildings but you are completely right, we are to dependent on oil. We need to invest in different types of energies, they will pay off in the long run.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool, I learned about this back when I took environmental science. It is expensive to put in but worth it in the long run.
ReplyDeleteThis was way cool. I'm going to have to share this with my bf, he's an environmental science major and think would really like to learn about it.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I've never even heard of such a thing! It's a wonder why more people don't look into this when building homes and companies! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is new. I didn't think that was possible but can it be dangerous for those working to get this setup? If it's already been done then great! Using the earth's natural sources are always great ideas!
