It is considered reliable because the Earth contains 1031 Joules of thermal energy. ]]> 2016-07-05 19:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/chandler503335/bjkymtxqum1u/wish/115968559 chandler503335 https://padlet.com/chandler503335/bjkymtxqum1u/wish/115968655 The Earth has a conduction rate of 44.2 terrawatts. This is more than 2 times humanity's current energy consumption.]]> 2016-07-05 19:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/chandler503335/bjkymtxqum1u/wish/115968655 chandler503335 https://padlet.com/chandler503335/bjkymtxqum1u/wish/115968764 Countries that generate more than 15 percent of their electricity from Geothermal energy are El Salvador, Kenya, the Philippians, Iceland, and Costa Rica. ]]> 2016-07-05 19:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/chandler503335/bjkymtxqum1u/wish/115968764 chandler503335 https://padlet.com/chandler503335/bjkymtxqum1u/wish/115968925 In the United States most geothermal production sites are in Western states, Alaska, and Hawaii. This is because these sites are close to the Earth's surface. They are all close to fault lines.]]> 2016-07-05 19:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/chandler503335/bjkymtxqum1u/wish/115968925 chandler503335 https://padlet.com/chandler503335/bjkymtxqum1u/wish/115969048 The Geothermal Energy Association estimates that only 6.5% of the world's geothermal potential has been used. The potential of geothermal energy is 35 gigawatts to 2 terrawatts.]]> 2016-07-05 19:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/chandler503335/bjkymtxqum1u/wish/115969048 chandler503335 https://padlet.com/chandler503335/bjkymtxqum1u/wish/115969214 I live in Forsyth County.  Liberty Hardware in Winston-Salem has 1358 solar panels. Solar Energy Systems has a 4.3 MW solar turbine in Winston-Salem. There is a new solar plant that is being built in Winston Salem, not far from my school. It is called the South Winston Project. It is a 5 megawatt solar farm.]]> 2016-07-05 19:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/chandler503335/bjkymtxqum1u/wish/115969214
