- Miles below the Earth’s surface, there’s enough thermal energy to power all of humanity for the foreseeable future. It’s called geothermal energy, and it’s poised to play an increasingly large role as a source of always available, renewable power. Now, there are a number of startups in the geothermal space, working to figure out how to access this heat in difficult to reach geographies, at a price point that makes sense. And it’s even gotten the attention of oil and gas industry giants, who are interested in greening their portfolios while sticking to their core competencies - extracting energy resources from deep within the Earth.

How Geothermal Energy Could Power The Future
Fun fact; Kenya is the largest geothermal power producer in Africa with geothermal accounting for over 38% of electricity produced in the country. There's still potential for more power production thanks to the natural hot springs we have along the Great Rift Valley. Proud Kenyan here 😁🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
now see, why doesn't someone go and make a video about that?? i'd watch it! i guess people still like thinking about africa as a backwater, not on the forefront of progress...
yaaaay! Kenya is so far ahead. But we all know what pulls us back
@George Mann all Kenyans know about all the amazing infrastructure government promises that have never materialized. Kenya has amazing plans on paper but extremely inefficient execution and horribly corrupt leaders
@@briannjoroge2344 😩 Is that not the case for every country, brother? My country made the first five year plan for South Korea. A pakistani economist introduced the human development index, and PIA, our national airline literally made Emirates airline. and yet.... look where these politicians, corrupt people have brought us.
@@briannjoroge2344 --- most African nations are being held back by corrupt governments
Fell in love with geothermal while exploring Iceland, who have been using it for years. Having the energy available 24/7/365 is pretty great! Such an underrated energy source.
These fools only think of the short-term gains and not the long-term consequences. They are delusional to think that this won't be scaled up to an extent to jeopardize our planet's magnetic field within 1,000 years.
Geothermal powering plants, and methane capturing power plants on animal farms, would highly reduce far greater climate changes than all cars
@@rudyvon5279 Using that kind of small fraction of the earths heat does nothing.
The present burning of fossil fuels have accelerated the wandering of the magnetic north, since we have less ice in the arctic.
@@rudyvon5279 The thermal resistance of the thousands of miles of rock between the power plant and the molten part of the core ensures that your worries are baseless.
@@danielcarroll3358 At the moment, the heat close to the Earth’s surface is reachable. With technological advancements, reaching further down will become economically doable and scalable. Anything that accelerates the cooling of our planet’s internal core is dangerous. Say bye-bye to our protective magnetic field, along with the loss of the Earth’s atmosphere and hello to the sun’s deadly radiation. The advocacy of geothermal energy is wrong and shortsighted.
Gonna come back in 5 years and see which company have succeeded.
Y
Qe'll know; we'll all know!😑
As if we have 5 years.......🤣🤣🤣
This is the worst solution ever,. They use fresh water from the 1% we can use just so we can have power ..
@@daved5023 Well Desalination's biggest cost is actually energy consumption. If we can get energy costs down by using geothermal then it makes Desalination more worthwhile. However, harnessing geo thermal energy does look expensive, so justifying it for Desalination may be a stretch, but still just a thought.
@@aydencz1239 it woudnt be a bad idea, and it makes sense, the problem is the brine water that kills everything arround by having to much salt in the water zone that the plant is located on.
Most of the water desalitanions plants that exist they press the water so the salt stays behind and the clean water can pass trough, its energy efficient that way but still fks the envoirment anyway, but if you could steam it and separate the salt and the water and make it viable by having clean energy going on it, you could get free water, free power, and free salt, 3 birds 1 stone xD
There are geothermal plants in Europe where the used water, which is still warm, is used as geothermal baths and have an extra revenue as a touristic attraction.
im looking forward to this here in the philippines we have t6he largest caldera in the world called apo laki which means we can havest huge energy from the sea which is way more safer than springs in the suface cause calderas emits 0% carbon footprints we can may also supply electricity to all south east asian countries then to taiwan and china in GOD's willing we can also supply energy to australia nee zealand and other asian countries but i may be day dreaming here 😁😁😁
Fun fact. In 2020, over 50% of Kenya's electricity came from geothermal energy.
They're sitting in a continental rift valley, just like Iceland
Not to mention Kenya is much smaller than the US
@@wolfmanoperator4153 but it’s still thousands of kilograms of carbon dioxide out of the air
I think Kenya gets 41% of it's total energy from geothermal right now but they plan to get 50+% by 2030. Still a great achievement for a small nation using early tech
@@wolfmanoperator4153 If anything, the United States would have a greater advantage. Because they have more land space to use.
1. Drill into the earth.
2. Extract magma.
3. Use it to power a steam turbine.
4. Infinite electricity.
Big brain stuff.
honestly I could see this becoming the number 1 source of energy since no one is taking into account the true talent of the oil companies which is lobbying the government
Brilliant and true. Oil companies can move mountains (literally), so long as they stand to profit from it.
Oil companies will likely have a monopoly on battery production in 20 years --- that's where all the money will be once gasoline goes extinct

Hello
I'm glad that this video focus so much on Icelands Geothermal energy generation
The only real-world example of Geothermal's success. All the rest is BS. So I would not expect anything big from this source.
Iceland mostly use geothermal for thermal energy alone since it's not efficient enough for electric generation. They have lots of hydro for electricity anyways.
@@Brandon_letsgo California gets 4.5% of its electricity from geothermal power plants. A comparatively small amount but it is baseload. It was decreasing for a while as the steam was not being condensed and reinjected. Fortuitously a local city had lots of treated sewage to get rid of and two problems cancelled each other out.
@@danielcarroll3358 California is shutting down nuclear power plants. That's criminal! Large amounts of extremely clean electricity. Baseload.
@@Brandon_letsgo California is not shutting down anything. The utility that owns the last remaining nuclear power plant's two reactors plans to not upgrade them because of cost. The two reactors will close in 2024 and 2025. There is some discussion about converting to a battery peaking plant.
Electricity in 1960: "Complicated extraction of fossil fuels or a highly advanced nuclear reactor powers us"
Electricity in 2020: Haha sun and hot rock go brrr
We didnt need to be so complicated ever. We just need the basics. A moogma farm.
@Tom Servo Whooosh

@Tom Servo That is the entire joke you dimwit, I'm making a joke about how you can misrepresent things through wording - that's the entire premise behind the "haha _________ go brrr" meme.
Also, you just insulted basically every engineer from the 20th century by calling every last one of their manually-blueprinted technologies simple.
Depends on the era you’re talking about. Fifty years ago they were. Today probably not so much. But you still need special training to be there
Nice video CNBC. Geothermal energy along with tidal energy, solar energy, and wind energy will power the future and will protect the planet as well.
Just build nuclear. Problem solved.

Geothermal for the win!

fracking isn't the same thing. I did this for years. Depending on the system you need and land avaliable for schools, residential, it may be 8 holes drilled for a farm 250 feet deep each. You could have deeper holes or more holes but not as deep. Basically similar to a radiator, you use something environmentally friendly antifreeze liquid in a loop that liquid travels down and back up a closed system. Because the temperature is always the same allowing you to cool off the liquid or heat the liquid. There is another way thats even safer where its not deep at all and no drilling needed but you need more land to keep better efficiency. You could possibly hit gas drilling but i did this for years thousands of holes drilled and 1 released a tiny bit of gas that almost took my life because the meter to detect gas wasn't where it was supposed to be and I tried telling everyone but they worked they for 20 and 30 years ignoring me. You don't drill for gas oil water anything. You first conduct a thermal conductivity test. To see just how efficient it will be after you drill a test hole.
They should have used Iceland as an example of geothermal. They already have access to the underground vents.
A possible redemption arc for the oil industry, huh? Yeah, I'll be watching this anime series.
😹
Redemption implies sin. The oil industry has done more good for humanity than nearly any other industry.
@@michaelhutchings6602 Sure, but they have become enemies in the eye of the public, which is a clear cut definition for redemption.
@@michaelhutchings6602 You can't make that statement halfway. We are in a mass extinction because of them, and it looks like we will not be able to stop the massive losses and even higher expenses to combat the effects of climate change either.
Let's see if our civilization survives this first.
@@benghazi4216 I would sacrifice every single endangered species if it meant every human had access to electricity.
Just don't contaminate the ground water in the process like fracking does.
They won't, they explained in the video that they use non-toxic chemicals.
That's much easier with geothermal fracking b/c there is no petroleum of gas to leak into and contaminate groundwater.

Eavor’s tech (closed loop) is the best for sure. California had major problems with their Geothermal during the drought. Those plants take up huge amounts of water as not all of that is reclaimed/condensed.
That's absurd they ever built ones that weren't closed loop
@@Freshbott2 sadly pumped water with no closed loop are accepted designs as you will see in the video and in use today. Madness.
@@peterbarlow7781 Because it allows to extract more heat from areas with less volcanic activity within a given depth.

Of the renewable energy sources, geothermal is the most exciting to me for the simple fact that it can be scaled such that it provides for the bulk of a home's/building's HVAC needs while using relatively little electrical power to "fill in" any gaps. I just wish the price would come down... :-/
Offshore wind is really cool too
Nuclear all the way, cant use this tech in space or mars
Another great and probably the most sustainable concept we need to focus on this technology to advance
I love learning about companies who are putting so much effort into better energy. Obviously it's for a profit, but it makes me very happy.
No one will do it for charity
Companies invest when they see possible returns. Governments are usually on the front line funding research. The internet and velcro for example where the results of government funded programs like Nasa and darpa which brought returns in its own right through commercial but lately funding research and programs has dropped over the years and the only way the private sector would invest is if they can profit off it in a few years.
Nothing's wrong inherently with profit-seeking. This sort of thing is why Adam Smith wrote his book. In his opinion, this sort of thing is exactly what happens most of the time in a functioning market. Of course, our markets and financial situations/mechanisms are more complex, which more easily enables the perversion of these mechanisms to do evil, but profit-seeking is still not inherently an evil thing; it can be done in a very civically-minded way, as weird as that may sound. It can be done very ethically.
The profit motive drives innovations.
Awesome report! All different approaches and all seem really promising.
might be another green alternative for places like Texas, no? plenty of unused wells.
kenya in Afrika has geothermal plants,,,its the leadin country in Africa in geothermal energy production. for america to say its expensive thats insane.
It's because the US actually requires that you don't destroy the environment, whereas companies in Africa can get away with as much water and soil pollution as they please, a problem that is unfortunately caused by the highly unregulated development in Africa. If we don't act soon to stop cheapo, environmentally insensitive mining and drilling for profit, Africa will be more polluted than Europe or the USA.
@@specialopsdave plz geothermal is steam from underground its very friendly to the enviroment. geothermal is green energy plz do your research....kenya has also the biggest wind energy in afrika. 80 percent of kenya energy is green
@@a.k732 So fracking is green now? Since when?
@@specialopsdave the energy is green,,,and the area where its done the steam comes out by itsself,,,and its a kenyan company called kengen brother. we have the capacity to do it and we have enviromental regulatory bodies. currently we are helping ethiopia to start their plant too
To complete their reporting, CNBC needs to give us forecasted cost numbers per gigawatt/hr, and compare the arc of this technology with the forecasted falling costs of other renewables.
Doesn't fracking causes issues later on with the ground being unstable? I think the close loop system is best.
as long as we do it sustainably then everything should be fine
Please fracking isn't the same thing. I did this for years. Depending on the system you need and land avaliable for schools, residential, it may be 8 holes drilled for a farm 250 feet deep each.

depends on the methods done, i know of it being done using synthesised water and pressure instead of using reactive chemicals, so the seismic consequences stopped when the fracking process stopped, nothing longterm.
In effect, you're advocating for Binary plants rather than Flash plants.
@@srinivasdadi3873 interesting seeing as EGS systems both in the US and internationally face THE SAME EXACT seismic issues as hydraulic fracturing, yet its magically different, because it’s now “green”.

At least my dream is being accomplished by someone, better than nothing lol.
Definitely agree this type of energy harvesting should be explored and brought up scale for masses!
YES I want my computer powered by lava! Let's Goooo!
I think harnessing heat from volcanoes and deserts is a great idea...👍🌋🏜
So other than ALLLLL the challenges, geothermal could meet our energy needs
In Pohang, South Korea, there was a case that earthquake was triggered related geothermal development. Geothermal plant sounds fascinating but should be researched thoroughly
Closed loop systems have a major advantage, they wont pick up the salts and heavy metals which are invariably in any subsurface water, particularly hot water. As the point is to extract that heat their is an inevitable drop in solubility and crystallization of these salts and metals as the liquids cool. If that happens above ground in the power plant it can cause enormous damage, or if it happens in the well it can clog it and choke off the whole process. In some instances the metals have value and a controlled precipitation can yield extra revenue, but this is site specific, so a design which just eliminates the whole issue will be a boon and greatly lower the long term costs of geothermal power.
You don't even need a water source underground...you can create a closed loop system and install it where the heat is....you don't need a reservoir.....
City of Basel, Switzerland tried to use this about 15 years ago & had an earthquake, really bad PR, its the greatest idea ever :)
The geothermal energy industry needs a lot of research on geology and geomorphology. Actually, they need a role new level of technology on that.
I believe they're already working on it. Perhaps not as much in the US though. This video was good, but lacking in perspective.
It’s already happening. The technology is available and scalable. Millimeter microwave directed energy drilling allows for extremely deep drilling without the problems of a drill bit melting or wearing out. We can get to extremely hot depths that the oil industry can not reach using standard technology. Therefore the need for extra geological modeling has been lessened considerably
@@bobramirez588 What about geophysical data from gravity and magnetic/magnetotelluric surveys? Do they have a greater role in identifying and surveying deep geothermal wells?
We hope to see the implementation of this technology asap all over the world 👍😊💐
Groundwater drilling also literally solved water-supply issue, too.
Human greed always prioritize profit over future/safety/ethics and that's why tragedies keep repeating itself in human history.
Wouldn't bringing heat up from underground faster than it's "natural" speed cause an increase in the equilibrium temperature of the biosphere, i.e. exactly the problem already caused by the greenhouse effect?
Several testsites in Europe has shown there are many issues back to solve.
The results are mostly devastating.
Earthquakes and choked "tubes" have lead to closed test sites.
That only happens in Europe Most earthquake can't even be noticed
You know what Greecks call 5 Richter scale earthquake. .... exactly nothing.
I work for geothermal industry in the U.S. Geothermal energy can generate electricity 24/7. This is the under dog of renewable energy that no one talks about.
Nice video but why did you reverse the clip at 4:45 of the lamp turning off? It is throwing me off so much
Is not that fancy as wind or solar power, but it's the better example of a renewable resource.
What makes it not fancy? It seemed very advanced to me.
Love geothermal. That and small scale nuclear are the big game changers if we invest in then
Excelent video, congratulations
Would be also be advantageous at locations where geothermal plants are installed to tap into these plants that can provide very inexpensive heat / electricity to run all year long soil free greenhouses (see Netherlands that use these greenhouses). Can have multi level greenhouses (do not need sun just heat for building and high efficient electric lights for plans that will grow the equivalent of hundreds of acres of field but they can produce 4 or even 5 seasons of vegetables every year in the same location. The closer to the population areas these are the less trucking costs are to then move these vegetables to market.
Wow sounds like it’s really....heating up
I guess you say they're going full steam ahead
Any 2050 promise is like saying I will never do that. Ten years is the furthest any real promise should go. Beyond that is just wishful.
Geothermal will be a huge boost for base power load......... it has always been under appreciated! It will definitely help to solve the problem, but maybe a bit of an exaggeration with the end statement.
Wind and Solar have been over hyped and there is some room for efficiency improvements in them, but you have to produce a huge number of them to get anywhere near power supply levels needed for major cities.
Japan, Philippines, and Chile has the most untapped geothermal potential base on studies.
Actually here in PH we do have Geothermal but less than the coal and gas power plant.. because government wants to use the geo for tourism purposes like hot springs ..thats why a literal Ancient Volcano caldera here in PH has abundant of Hot spring Resort compared to a Single Geo thermal power plant also in the location

I've been saying it for years we should tap Yellowstone what Mega plants and we should also start filling the Grand Canyon with fresh water will create millions of jobs and a major difference in our ecosystem out in the West and the rest of the United States
How would you reroute water to the Grand Canyon? The Hoover Dam is the main artery that hold the water back. The Western states need to invest in desalination plants.
How? With what money? What is the opportunity cost? What is the return on investment? Who would finance it? Who would operate it? If you employee millions of people on an unprofitable expensive project, what happens to the rest of the economy? A million people filling the grand canyon with water, is a million people not building 5g towers, solar panels, designing semi conductors etc.
@@Multi407D Actually construction is a good way to reignite the economy, but I think turning to manufactured construction could be more lucrative.
@@KRYMauL Only if the construction yields real economic benefits, if not the money is better spent elsewhere. Society shouldn't be spending hundreds of billions of dollars and emitting insane amounts of co2 (and other greenhouse gasses), for infrastructure projects that aren't economically necessary.
@@KRYMauL To put it into perspective, the interstate highway system cost 500 bill (adjusted for inflation), and has yeilded trillions in additional economic growth. Hence, it was a worthwhile economic investment.
In contrast, China spends (through SOE's, and direct government involvement), 500 billion dollars every quarter on government backed projects (between 2-5 trillion a year). Due to this, they used more cement in 2014, than the US did in the entirety of the 20th century. Creating insanely high amounts of emissions, on projects that were ultimately not used by the public (they built roads that lead to nowhere, and cities that no one wants to live in).
Though our star is set to expand into a Red Giant and consume the planet in 5 billion years, if left undisturbed, our planet's core would keep warm for tens of billions of years. It's a great resource.
Two things that might help geothermal energy a great deal are: 1) Electricity storage devices that would allow generation of geothermal electricity at one location and use somewhere else without the need for transmission lines and 2) Heat storage devices that could do the same. The first of these would also help geothermal energy's competitors (wind and solar energy) but the second would strongly favor use of geothermal energy. The best geothermal locations are probably on the ocean floor. Could we harvest the heat and then transport it for use elsewhere without pipes, etc.?
No you cant transfer heat, at least significant amounts, without metal pipes or wires.
It looks like we have our own sun under our feet.
next calamity movies will be about "earth core become colder" because of the geothermal harvest,
then earth become Mars
Eh, we'll need to extract insane amounts of energy to do that, so much that we'd be cracking open the Earth's mantle to get enough energy to exceed that lost to radiant loss over time.
@@alexipestov7002 well i mean if we're actively injecting cold water down there 24/7... imagine if we built those type of plants all over the world...
@@rdean150 Still not enough, we talking about migration of heat from the core out. What we seeing with volcanic eruptions and heat wells is the natural gradient.
The only way to cool down the core faster is to have the equivalent of tectonic plates shifting every second. After all, the conservation of energy dictates that in order for the thermal gradient to be increased, we'll need to throw an increased amount into space.
So we'd need to start an ice age, pump heat into space en masse, and then we'd start making the smallest of dents in the Earths total thermal energy.
@@rdean150 humanity is like ants on the huge heater. You can crawl around and extract as much power as you like, the heater is don't care. It's a billion times more productive than you can waste.
This is amazing
What if you combine geo thermal and desalination… If geo needs water to turn into steam and desalination needs energy to remove clean water it seems like a decent match. No doubt some creative problem solving would be needed but maybe there is something there.

We have some here in Kenya I think the largest geothermal plant if not the only one in *Africa* IT SMELLS LIKE ROTTEN EGGS,,,😆😎
it smells like money😂
The question should be - What are the forces that are preventing a more serious exploration of geothermal energy ?
Pge used to own Austin hot springs in Oregon. Curious why they gave up on it?
In New Zealand and Germany there are lithium and silica extraction projects which involve using the Geo-heat to power the extraction and refining process, giving a zero-carbon return. In NZ we have been using Geo-power stations since 1958 (63 years) and 14% of national production is by Geo. The vast majority is Hydro-electric.
I have seen steam coming from the surface in New York, it should be an exellent place to build a geothermal facility because it is so close to a big city with high electricity needs! 😃
Is it geothermal steam? Because I know most steam in New York is produced from a large boiler which uses energy.
The steam in NYC (and other cities, like Denver) is produced by using heat from power plants (by product, generally referred to as waste heat) to boil water, and pipe it to buildings. Since it is powered by by-product heat, it is generally referred to as a renewable resource. Since NYC has no geothermal features in the ground, it would probably be difficult to build that
Whoosh train
I need the tickers ASAP lol I'm ready to invest early and flip
Another step in the right direction 👍
This has been around for decades, now we’re like “wow geothermal” we are so behind where we should be.
In all honesty, had we developed geothermal instead of oil n gas, we would've been so far behind in the transport sector, probably relying on coal (steam). But now that we have developed oil n gas first, we have the advancement in drilling sector as well as transport sector.
Yes I agree the title of this is misleading, but then that's typical modern media they think we are all uneducated and ignorant.

@@meow-ic6gz you can say the same thing to everyone in the Pacific Ring of Fire, and also the Philippines is one of the top producers of Geothermal Power though we still have one of the most expensive electricity comparative to the purchasing power of peso which can scare off international investors to our country
Nice video.
Dig deep for the magma energy just like in Franxx
Glad to say I bought my first house from investment I made on trade. It's 2021 and I know more is yet to come. This year is going to be better.
Congrats. Investing pays when you invest right. Happy it works for you how much do you earn
Great to know. How much profit do you make
$9,520 every 7 trading days
@@markblinks8597 congratulations dear
Big moves 🔥🔥🔥
We should be careful on money useage,if you are not spending to earn back,then stop spending.
Apparently my view on the solution is to venture into business .
True ! Even some rich men made it through investing there money in something doing and they made it.
I do real estate,stock market ,forest trade and cryptosystem.
The right chioce of an investment has always been a big problem for me I know picking a wrong investment will leave a big scar in the future
There might be many investments out there but if profit must be considered,which is the actual sole of investment, I will advice you to go into bitcoin trading because it has higher profit than most investment.
Update: They've found a way of drilling using a 'laser' still in testing... but it could make this up to "10" times cheaper, and a whole easier!
Yellowstone National Park is the obvious first choice for a geothermal project, also hot springs SD. How many locations in the continental USA do we have sufficient thermal energy to power a geothermal project that isn't protected as a park?

Jor-El:
you are not understanding
earth's core is collapsing
we may have a matter of weeks
I told you harvesting the core is a suicide
Ha! My thoughts exactly. Glad to see I'm not the only one.
But seriously, this is a good idea and should definitely be used, but let's try not to overdo it like we did with oil and coal.
I wonder if tapping geothermal on a planetary scale could lead to faster cooling of the earths core which provides earth with its magnetosphere critical to our atmosphere. iirc Mars has no atmosphere anymore because its core cooled to the point it no longer provided the magnetosphere needed to keep its atmosphere.
I hope a pre-historic Lava balloon is not punctured when this goes global scale drilling everywhere 😂
That makes no sense, the whole point of geothermal is to go around the lava because it makes the water hotter.
Wonder how often temperature is captured in exploratory well records. Oil industry has drilled test wells all over the world. Probably not to the needed depths very often, but perhaps close enough to identify some warmer areas.
Geothermal power plants, methane power plants, and Vortex Hydro Energy is a huge advancement beyond solar and wind turbines. Please reshare the advancements to the right channels.
And what are the negative effects of it?
They just glossed over it, like it's a big deal.
there is none
@@graymen Yes there are.
They even mentioned if for like 5 seconds. But really didn't say much.
If I had a dollar for every time I've heard this one before.......
What an amazing video
Thank you
I have watched too much Superman to know Krypton when I see it
Apparently Krypton doesn't blow up from too much geothermal. It mostly blows up because either supernova or harvesting the core for Uranium.
Geothermal harvests just the heat in the thinnest layer, the crust. This heat mainly comes from radioactive decay of elements and rising heat from the core. Which is very different from Krypton which was physically mining its core.
@@DeusVult77763 Mars solidified stopping the inner dynamo that generate the magnetic field. In works of fiction their is plot where the Earths inner parts start to cool and solidify due to geothermal energy. Most science shows predict that the sun would go super nova before Earth solidified.
Yellowstone could be a great energy source but understand why it's off limits to development
It is off limit because useless tree hugger that does nothing but trying to reduce qol for other people
@@konigstiger3252 there is enough places to build geothermal stations that you don't need to destroy one of the most iconic parks in the world
Yes more geothermal please.
Advertising for subsidies, much? But perhaps the subsidies that oil and gas today are getting could be directly diverted... Although i am not sure that these former oil and gas people fully agree with that sort of policy...
About damn time! I've said for years that yellow stone could generate nearly the entire countries electricity.
@@Neel71 --- how did you post that font style?
And it could be sent to New England in a pipeline. Or not.
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
Most intelligent words I've heard.
Yeah, My first investment with Mr Charles Schwab earned me profit of over $25,530 US dollars, and ever since then he has been delivering
I got sir Charles Schwab info, how good is he ?
@Gloria Reynolds +1=(9=1=9) =8=9=1=6=7=1=8
My first investment with Mr Charles Schwab gave me the assurance that have made me invest without the fear of losing, I got four of my friends involved with him already
No mention of Baseload capital and Climeon. Would be cool to have a more international perspective as these videos are views outside the us as well
Marvellous geothermal technology.
Cool down the earth's core. Goodbye magnetic field. Goodbye atmosphere. Think Mars.
Uhm wrong
DESTROYING Earth
Firstly they are no way near to earths core, and the amount of energy they are sucking from this wells is so much little that if powerd entire plant for century by this, there is negligible change in the temp
Exactly. These fools only think of the short-term gains and not the long-term consequences. They are delusional to think that this won't be scaled up to an extent to jeopardize our planet's magnetic field within 1,000 years.
Or you could just google how geothermal energy works... smh
A closed loop system pumping a fluid or molten salt down into the heated earth is the way to go! Water is also a precious resource. We don’t want to release it into the air as steam.
I hope this really takes off.
You have to look for innovation from every source. Not just the ones with a stated goal of saving the environment.
