Geothermal Cost of Production Set to Come Down
The Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KENGEN) has procured 2 new electric drilling rigs. The rigs will be used to cut down the cost of drilling geothermal wells, a development that could help lower the cost of power in the future. By the end of the project, Kengen expects to have the capacity to produce over […]
Why do geothermal power plants let out steam?
Question by Kartik P: Why do geothermal power plants let out steam? geothermal energy plants let out steam through chimneys. But i heard that they put the used steam through a turbine, then into a condenser and back into the ground, to be reused. So why do they let out the steam through the chimneys? […]

Fight over Iceland’s Geothermal Energy
Iceland is one of few countries with geothermal energy resources. The increasing demand for renewable energy coupled with Iceland’s need for finances has led to the first foreign company owning the rights to some of the country’s natural resources. Citizens are now demanding the government take the rights to that energy back and put it […]
