Alternative Energy Using Geothermal Power Reviews

By Lucille Green

We need to do all that we can, to develop technologies, which are behind geo-thermal free energy generation. This area has not yet been probed very deeply, but it has huge possibilities, as it is available from mother earth. Enormous quantities of free energy lie under the upper crust of the earth, on which we lie, and all that is needed is to tap the source and take control over it.

The temperature at the center of the earth is 60 times greater than the boiling point of water and the heat emanating from it create forces which can be felt only a few miles under the surface of the earth. These forces contain large amounts of free energy and there are tons of heated fluids in the form of magma, which can be seen streaming out of the earth, during a volcanic eruption. These fluids also come up to the surface of the earth as steam and come out from vents.

We could also make these vents and at the same time build appropriate chambers where the magma can be arrested for later conversion to free energy, which would produce electricity to light or heat up our homes. To make a geothermic plant, a well needs to be dug in an area with abundant source of magma or super hot fluid, then a pipe has to be used to bring up the fluid on to the surface level to get the necessary steam power. The steam would turn a turbine, which would generate the electrical energy.

There are unfavorable judgments of geothermic free energy tapping which prevents it being implemented on the large scale which it should be. According to skeptics finding the right location is expensive and time-consuming. Then setting up a geothermal energy plant is also very expensive, with no guarantee of any future profits. It might so happen that a geo-thermal site becomes incapable of producing enough steam which makes it unfeasible and unreliable.

Several conservationists are of the opinion that when you bring out magma, it is feasible that some dangerous materials also accompany it. However the benefits of geothermal energy far outweighs such comments if only we explored it deeper. We must realize that since the root of the energy is the earth, it can never carry any contaminant. geo-thermal energy is an cost-efficient free energy source - easy to produce after site identification and the set up of the plant to develop it.

A geo-thermal plant is also not as huge as say a dam or an atomic free energy unit, making it a lesser risk to the environs. Using this alternate source of free energy would naturally reduce our dependency on fossil fuels. Perhaps most importantly of all, we are never, ever going to run out of geothermic energy, and it is not a commodity that would forever become more costly in terms of real dollars as time passes, since it is naturally occurring. The use of geothermal free energy would be extremely inexpensive and the cost of creating a power station can be recovered expeditiously.
