A community portal about Geothermal power with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Geothermal power is the use of geothermal heat for electricity generation. It is often referred to as a form of renewable energy, but because the heat at any location can eventually be depleted it technically may not be strictly renewable. Geothermal comes from the Greek words geo, meaning earth, and therme, meaning heat. Geothermal literally means "earth heat".
As the hot topic of the impending necessity for the United States to develop domestic resources for alternative energy is discussed, many companies are refining their roles in the energy industry to strive toward a common goal of providing the U.S. with independence from foreign fuel sources while reducing the negative impact traditional energy conversion has had on the global environment.

Six new geothermal plants came online in the United States and another 144 were under development, raising the prospects of 10 gigawatts (GW) of geothermal power in coming years. Geothermal power projects were being developed at an accelerating rate, despite the economic recession.

A setback for geothermal power generation is reported in the news today. The NY Times is saying that venture capitalists were sold on a promising idea where the geothermal boosters "over sold" the ease of drilling down to the energy source and under-estimated the annoyance to nearby property owners. Whether such drilling could trigger earthquakes remains an open scary question. While I'm optimistic that smart engineers can come up with better...
