What Waste Is Produced From Obtaining Or Using this Energy?

# data[].attributes.body
Many greenhouse gases are stored under the Earth's surface. When geothermal power plants drill down they release greenhouse gases. Although not as many as coal and fossil fuel release.

Because power plants have to dig so far down into the Earth it can cause instability in the Earth and can cause Earthquakes. Creating a geothermal power plant can be expensive and you need to find the right location otherwise you won't get the right temperature of water.

It is good for the environment because there are not many polluting aspects and has a small carbon footprint. There are greenhouse gases that do pollute the air but it is not nearly as high as what comes from the coal and fossil fuels. It is renewable and is a stable energy source.

The geothermal energy is stored in a generator until needed. It then is transported through power lines and pipes. This makes it difficult to use geothermal energy unless you live close to a geothermal power plant.

Geothermal energy will continue to be produced because the heat is created for radioactive decay in the Earth's core. Radioactive decay is a continual process so the Earth will continue to produce heat for billions of years.

Where Is Geothermal Energy Found In The US?

# data[].attributes.body
Geothermal energy can be found everywhere but is closer to hot spots. Hawaii being a prime example of hot spots in the US. California is home to one of the largest geothermal power plants on Earth. Geysers are also a great example of geothermal energy in the US and other places.

How Is Geothermal Energy Turned Into Electricity? (Flash Steam) 

# data[].attributes.body
Wells are drilled very deep. The water is pulled up to the surface. The pressure is lessened as it rises and creates steam. The high pressured steam and the rest of the water is separated and the water is turned into either standard or low pressured steam. Any water that was not turned into steam is returned to underground. The turbine is where the steam comes together again and is turned into energy. The steam spins the turbine blades which turn a shaft that is a connected to a generator. Magnets inside the generator rotate and create an electrical charge. The electricity is then moved to a machine called the transformer where the voltage is increased and then is sent out to our homes and buildings.

Is Geothermal Energy Renewable Or Nonrenewable?

# data[].attributes.body
Geothermal energy is renewable. A big advantage for geothermal energy is that it is and will stay constantly available to us for billions of years to come.
