It blows my mind that GeoThermal is not the default throughout Central America as well as all the countries along the Andes. Santiago and Mexico City could cut a big chunk out of their smog problems this way.

A sustained effort to replace natural gas with geothermal and use the natural gas as a stopgap for automobiles until hydrogen fuel cells or electric cars become more practical will help push the fossil fuel dependecy away faster and further.

Let’s try our hardest to increase public awareness and separate and promote both amazing “geothermal” technologies… both the power generating form from hot sources like steam vents and such, and the milder heating and cooling heat-pump form provided by companies such as Waterfurnace.
both have tremendous potential.. but we gotta do our best to help people understand which does which and how they’re different.

Geothermal is huge in places like New Zealand, and it will make it much easier for kiwis to become carbon neutral before the rest of us.
Some of the Scandinavian countries are experimenting with geothermal, and it seems to work best when it’s installed for neighborhoods, not individual homes. I think it has incredible potential.

in the philippines 27% of the electricity is generated from geothermal plants. and there are still a lot of sites that can be tapped.

Years back I lived in Iceland an they were using this than. It is a natural clean source of energy. If this becomes augmented with wind an solar we will be energy free for sure….Thanks for reading Bill
