Always available - there is a constant flow of heat from the earths core, ensuring a limitless amount of energy.
2. It is renewable energy- once the water or stream is used, it can be pumped back into the ground. 
3. No fuel required- After installation, no mining activity is necessary.
4. stable resource- Can provide base load or peak power.]]> 2017-04-30 18:16:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_wenner/gkom9lwat5iv/wish/169071264 zachary_zerwas https://padlet.com/kristin_wenner/gkom9lwat5iv/wish/169208636 Biodiesel is made through a chemical process called transesterification whereby the glycerin is separated from the fat or vegetable oil. The process leaves behind two products -- methyl esters (the chemical name for biodiesel) and glycerin (a valuable byproduct usually sold to be used in soaps and other products).

Best Materials: Vegetable Oil and Virgin Oils

Cost Benefit: As of now, biofuels cost the same in the market as gasoline does. However, the overall cost benefit of using them is much higher. They are cleaner fuels, which means they produce fewer emissions on burning.

2. Renewable: Most of the fossile fuels will expire and end up in smoke one day. Since most of the sources like manure, corn, switchgrass, soyabeans, waste from crops and plants are renewable and are not likely to run out any time soo]]> 2017-05-01 18:20:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kristin_wenner/gkom9lwat5iv/wish/169253099 molly_cayce https://padlet.com/kristin_wenner/gkom9lwat5iv/wish/169253863 1. Specific Location- Prime sites are often far from population centers.
2. High Installation Costs- Electricity
3. May Run Out of Steam- 

• if the heat is not taken care of properly, it can cause a meltdown or other issues where the energy is not properly distributed or used.
