Geothermal

by Trisha

Have you thought of using geothermal to heat your house? It is a very clean way to do so. It emits almost no green house gasses. The way it works is when groundwater seeps below the Earth's surface near a dormant volcano, it is then heated by reservoirs of molten rock. That is usually at depths of up to 9,800 feet below the Earth's surface. To get this water they have to drill down for it. They take it to a plant where they separate the steam and the hot water. The steam is cleaned and sent away and the water is sent back down into the ground where the process can be started all over again.
