sustainable energy for the benefit of humanity and the environment.
WHAT IS IT?
Geothermal energy is naturally generated in the earth's core (which is hotter than the surface of the sun) and presents itself as a clean, renewable and domestic source of energy, as it can never be shipped overseas.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA :2004
The heat map for the previous diagram.
2004 Surface Heat Flow Map: Heat flow is determined by multiplying the well temperature gradient times the thermal conductivity.
HOW IS IT USED? This pie chart shows the amount of geothermal energy provided. Which adds up to almost half of
the energy used in an average home.

EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT
EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT ARE VERY HARSH MEANING THE FACTORIES OR HOUSES ECXEED AS MUCH CARBON!!
Effects on the environment!
Geothermal fluids contain elevated levels of arsenic, mercury, lithium and boron because of the underground contact between hot fluids and rocks
Damage to natural geothermal featuresNatural features such as hot springs, mud pools, sinter terraces, geysers, fumaroles (steam vents) and steaming ground can be easily, and irreparably, damaged by geothermal development.
Is it reliable or not?
