Efficient
A renewable resource as long as the world exists.
The Disadvantages
Electricity is needed to operate heat pumps
Requires an incredible usage of water]]> 2019-04-29 16:28:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rileykemmerer06/y55vw4583mr/wish/355094515 rileykemmerer06 https://padlet.com/rileykemmerer06/y55vw4583mr/wish/355099260 I think that humans use just enough Geothermal energy. We will never run out of Geothermal Energy as long as the Earth is here. ]]> 2019-04-29 16:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rileykemmerer06/y55vw4583mr/wish/355099260 rileykemmerer06 https://padlet.com/rileykemmerer06/y55vw4583mr/wish/355517710 The US uses 0.4% Geothermal Energy out of the rest of the world. The whole world all together uses 40%. The world uses a lot more Geothermal Energy that just the U.S.]]> 2019-04-30 16:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rileykemmerer06/y55vw4583mr/wish/355517710 rileykemmerer06 https://padlet.com/rileykemmerer06/y55vw4583mr/wish/355670872 1. Geothermal Energy is clean, reliable, and cost effective but the use can be limited near the boundaries of tectonic plates.
2. Geothermal power plants in the Philippines and Iceland contribute around 30% of their electricity production. In the USA it is less than 1%.]]> 2019-05-01 01:04:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rileykemmerer06/y55vw4583mr/wish/355670872 rileykemmerer06 https://padlet.com/rileykemmerer06/y55vw4583mr/wish/355673167 2019-05-01 01:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/rileykemmerer06/y55vw4583mr/wish/355673167 rileykemmerer06 https://padlet.com/rileykemmerer06/y55vw4583mr/wish/355673615 Oil comes from organic materials, mostly algae. When using oil to produce energy it is called convectional steam.

Essential for many industries
Substantial type of energy
Easy to produce and refine
Cons
Nonrenewable
Environmental Pollution
Oil leaks can occur ]]> 2019-05-01 01:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rileykemmerer06/y55vw4583mr/wish/355674624 rileykemmerer06 https://padlet.com/rileykemmerer06/y55vw4583mr/wish/355675323 Market prices rise. The rising of oil prices encourage people to 1) conserve oil, and 2) find cheaper substitutes, like wind, solar or other renewable energy sources.]]> 2019-05-01 01:38:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rileykemmerer06/y55vw4583mr/wish/355675323 rileykemmerer06 https://padlet.com/rileykemmerer06/y55vw4583mr/wish/355676029 Oil is the largest source of energy in the U.S..
