Geothermal Power as Alternative Energy
By Dave Kettner

We should be doing everything possible to develop geothermal technologies. This is a largely untapped area of tremendous alternative potential, as it simply taps the being naturally produced by the Earth herself. Vast amounts of power are present below the surface crust on which we move and have our being. All we need do is tap into it and harness it.

At the Earths' core, the temperature is 60 times greater than that of water being boiled. The tremendous heat creates pressures that exert themselves only a couple of miles below us, and these pressures contain huge amounts of energy. Superheated fluids in the form of magma, which we see the power and of whenever there is a volcanic eruption, await our tapping. These fluids also trickle to the surface as steam and emerge from vents. We can create our own vents, and we can create out own containment chambers for the magma and convert all of this into electricity to light and heat our homes. In the creation of a geothermal power plant, a well would be dug where there is a good source of magma or heated fluid. Piping would be fitted down into the source, and the fluids forced to the surface to produce the needed steam. The steam would turn a turbine engine, which would generate the electricity.

There are criticisms of geothermal tapping which prevent its being implemented on the large scale which it should be. Critics say that study and research to find

Commercial Digital Hydroxy Controller Revolutionizes the 'Meyers Symmetrical Pulse Mode' Concept
Square1 in Kentucky, USA, will soon be releasing their Hydro-Maxx controller that will help HHO researchers get the most from their hydroxy units, possibly even unleashing Meyer's Mode -- the holy grail of water fuel. (PESN; Aug. 29, 2010)
Report on 2010 Colloquium on Lattice-Assisted Nuclear Reactions at MIT
Now in its 19th year, this annual cold fusion colloquium focused on work and effects that are related to new materials and devices, including nanomaterials. The math apparently says that the energy in 3/4 of a gallon of heavy water could power Boston for a day. (PESN; Aug. 28, 2010)

a resourceful area is too costly and takes up too much time. Then there is more great expense needed to build a geothermal power plant, and there is no promise of the plant turning a profit. Some geothermal sites, once tapped, might be found to not produce a large enough amount of steam for the power plant to be viable or reliable. And we hear from the environmentalists who worry that bringing up magma can bring up potentially harmful materials along with it.

However, the great benefits of geothermal would subsume these criticisms if only we would explore it more. The fact that geothermal is merely the of the Earth herself means it does not produce any pollutants. Geothermal is extremely efficient—the efforts needed to channel it are minimal after a site is found and a plant is set up. Geothermal plants, furthermore, do not need to be as large as electrical plants, giant dams, or atomic facilities—the environment would thus be less disrupted. And, needless to say, it is an alternative form of energy—using it would mean we become that much less dependent on oil and coal. Perhaps most importantly of all—we are never, ever going to run out of geothermal energy, and it is not a commodity that would continuously become more expensive in terms of real dollars as time passes, since it is ubiquitous. Geothermal would be, in the end, very cheap, after investigation and power plant building costs are recouped.
