The reserves of fossil fuel that are easy to explore are over the hill now. From now on the fossil fuel will get more expensive everyday. The need for cheap and clean energy is rising up all over the world. The new energy technologies are here to answer to our questions. Which one of those technologies will play a big roll in the future alternative energies? For some experts the answer is clear: "Enhance Geothermal Technology", that is using the most abounded resources of energy. It will always be there for us to grab it, and will never be minimized by the usage. Its using "The heat under our feet" natural heated rocks that are there from the beginning of the world. There are two practical answers for future energy supplies: nuclear reactors and geothermal energy. Many have pointed out toward nuclear energy as being unsafe. It leaves atomic residues that need to have a special storage. It also needs uranium basic material to create the energy needed for electricity. Uranium is expensive material and hard to be extracted. The geothermal energy is totally safe and does not leave any residue and does not need any additional energy to function. Comparing with solar and wind, the geothermal is the cheapest of the two, and it has the opportunity to create electricity 24/7. The solar and wind are alternative energies that are not predictable and depends on sunny and windy days. They can not replace the national wide energy, because it can not be controlled and we can not rely on it. We have no sun during the night therefor electricity can not be produce and the wind is here occasionally. Comparing with all other alternative energy technologies, geothermal is the most promising and abounded energy available. The answer for alternative energy is clear: geothermal energy is the most abounded and chip and safe among the all. The shift from fossil energy to a clean, alternative electricity will not be an essay one. Changing the whole industry and products to use electricity will be a major shift. So this will not be possible without the government help.
There is definatly a need for a new energy source. I have heard of geothermal energy but didn't know very much about it. Now having read more information about it I feel it would be a wonderful energy source. Hopefully the government will get on board soon and get the ball rolling. I am sick of paying high gas prices. It seems like power and gas rate increases happen almost every month. It is very frustrating.
ReplyDeleteYea, me too. I am sick of paying too much for gass and the natural gas price I think it triple since they incourage us to switch from electric to natural gas. that's why I think that the source of EGS can not be manipulated for price and it can not be minimized by the usage. Is one of the thing that government can not control. There is no competition so the price could fluctuate back and forth. The source is not going to be short of supply what so ever. If people will understand what that mean they will react in the right direction.
