Geothermal Energy Is It Really Safe?

The world is slowly going towards green technology. It appears that for some it seems much easier to go green than for others. A demarcating example is Klamath Falls. In the small city of Oregon geothermal energy has been used since the early 90s to heat homes and businesses. In that time, it was not [...]

Renewable Energy in Iceland a Top Priority

Iceland is reckoned as a forerunner in the field of renewable energy. The country is generating around 81 percent of its primary energy needs from renewable sources. There are even plans to go fully green. Figures in 2007 said that geothermal energy accounts for 66 percent of primary energy, hydropower 15 percent and fossil fuels [...]

Geothermal Energy Emerging In Australia

In Australia, the first grid connected geothermal energy producer is expected to be operational in the late 2011. The project is entitled Panax Geothermal’s Penola. According to Bertus de Graaf, it is going to generate electricity at a lesser cost than conventional wind power. The expected capacity of the plant is 5.9 MW but plans [...]

Renewable Energy why speak about Nuclear Energy?

Alternative energy has many connotations and sources. The supply of renewable energy is categorized as an infinite yet in face of oil crisis nuclear energy is considered as one. Environmental or economic May-day conditions should be a viable camouflage to categorise nuclear as a renewable source of energy. It is delusionary to present nuclear energy [...]

Geothermal Energy Heat from the Earth

In search of ease to generate energy, creativity is something human beings do not lack. Geothermal energy is a way of harnessing energy already present. It uses the heat from the core of the earth as a renewable source of energy. Standing on the earth, we might ignore the fact that the earth is burning [...]

Safety Measures; a hinder for Geothermal Drilling

Precautionary Measures are set by United State Energy Department for drilling into the Core of the Earth and Geothermal Energy stand to lose. Earthquake risks associated to drilling into the earth for the harnessing of geothermal energy are triggering these new regulations. The law according to Federal documents has been formed based on unfolded opposition [...]

Renewable Energy (Wind, Solar & Tide power) Will Be Distributed Through A Super-grid in Europe

Europe is looking ahead for the first step to make the European super-grid a reality. The prime focus is to make a smart electricity grid dedicated to distribute renewable power in North Sea. The project is already pinpointing on connecting turbines from north coast of Scotland to wave power generated from Belgian and Danish waves, [...]

Enel Green Power’s Perspective of Geothermal Energy in Italy

It was very long ago since five light bulbs were lit through energy produced steam coming from underground. The first time in Laderello (Tuscany) the 4th of July 1904 marked that remarkable achievement. Italy was the first country to use geothermal energy for industrial functions. It has since then remained among the largest providers of [...]
