Plus Points for "Enhanced Geothermal System"



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.
